FBI to Dig Into IRS Data Breach Debacle
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into a hack of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that led to personal data being stolen from at least 100,000 taxpayers' accounts of the 200,000 that were hit. The hackers got the data by accessing the Get Transcript application, which lets taxpayers download data they filed with the service, the IRS announced Tuesday. Twenty-three million taxpayers used the online Get Transcript application in the latest filing season.
