PORTLAND, Maine - Hackers may have stolen personal information from people who used a job search database in 10 states, including Maine.
The Maine Department of Labor on Wednesday announced the breach of the America's JobLink, a multi-state web-based system that links jobseekers with employers.
The company confirmed that a breach occurred on Tuesday that allowed a hacker to view the names, Social Security number and birthdates of jobseekers in the AJL systems of 10 states, including Maine and Vermont.
The department said the hacker no longer has access into the system. Maine officials said accounts created after March 16 are not affected.
