Massive Global Hack Impacts Millions, Including Government Agencies, Pension Funds, and Corporations

Russian cybercriminals stole personal information from almost 800,000 CalPERS members and 2.5 million Genworth Financial customers, including Social Security numbers.
The theft targeted a third-party vendor that provides services to both organizations.
Hundreds of organizations around the world were compromised in the breach, including federal agencies, universities, and major companies.
The hackers are threatening to publish the stolen data publicly unless victims pay a ransom.
Security experts say the hack highlights vulnerabilities in the complex digital ecosystems that connect vast networks of organizations and people.
