ILLINOIS UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS STOLEN AS PRITZKER ADMINISTRATION FAILS TO IMPLEMENT BASIC SECURITY
The Illinois Department of Employment Security troubles included scores of unemployed unable to get benefits, nearly 32,500 Social Security numbers exposed and now benefits theft. A simple fix used by many online retailers could have prevented the thefts.
Most Illinoisans have seen online retailers and social media platforms use a simple text or email to prevent fraud, but the Illinois Department of Employment Security doesn’t use it and workers idled during the COVID-19 pandemic have seen benefits stolen from their state accounts.
Two-factor authentication could prevent the recent wave of scammers by sending an email or text when there is a change to account information. William Kresse, a fraud expert at Governors State University, told ABC 7 News he was surprised IDES did not use two-factor authentication, which he called “commonplace” across online platforms.
