Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - The Southern Nevada Health District say that they’ve alert approximately 300 clients who completed transactions in one area of their website that they may have had their information compromised.
Payments made before or after March 4th-14th aren’t believed to be compromised. The SNHD says that other areas of the website were not impacted.
On or about March 4, a malicious code was placed on the Health District’s Environmental Health Invoice Payment page. The code redirected clients who paid invoices for environmental health permits or application fees. Clients were redirected to a fraudulent payment form that looked like a credit card payment page that was not affiliated with the Health District.
The Health District discovered the malicious code on March 14, and immediately removed the form. Law enforcement was notified and cybersecurity experts were retained to assist with further securing the site and investigating the incident. The Health District also rebuilt its web server to ensure any means of access used in this data security incident has been eliminated.
Those who believe they may have been impacted can call 877-890-9332, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and reference engagement number B11943.
