A phishing scheme succeeded in breaking into the email accounts of five Oregon Judicial Department employees, exposing personal information of more than 6,000 people.

The attack occurred at 4:30 a.m. July 15. Within three hours, department staff had closed the breach. In the weeks since, the department hired a forensic team to analyze the impacts of the breach. They found 6,607 people were impacted. Names, birth dates and some financial information were exposed, according to a department news release. In rare cases, health information and social security numbers were exposed.

Lemman said originally a private lawyer had their email account hacked. The hackers gained access to the lawyer’s address book, and sent an email to workers in the state court system. That effort gained entry to a Washington County Circuit Court administrative staffer’s account.
