US Coast Guard hack leads to paycheck delays, forces personnel systems offline | Cybernews

A data breach at the US Coast Guard has forced the shutdown of its personnel and payment systems, leading to paycheck delays for over 1,100 servicemembers. The breach exposed sensitive financial information, including bank routing numbers and direct deposit account numbers, and is under investigation by the Coast Guard Investigative Service and Cyber Command. This incident comes after a previous network breach in April 2024, which compromised personal information of nearly 11,000 Coast Guard Reserve personnel.
