A US state tax agency put taxpayers’ personal information at risk by missing an 18-month-long data breach.
The Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) says the violation occurred between July 2024 and December 2025, according to a new law. Deposit With the Maine Attorney General’s Office.
The agency failed to notice the suspicious activity until December, citing unauthorized access to some W-2 and 1099 files in the online taxpayer portal.
The filing indicates that names and Social Security numbers were stolen during the hack, though the OTC did not disclose the total number of individuals affected.
The agency says it has an “ongoing commitment to the privacy of the information in its care” and will review its current security standards.
“Information privacy and security are among OTC’s highest priorities. OTC’s response included completing the investigation, cooperating with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to continue its investigation so it can monitor fraudulent tax filing activity, and conducting a comprehensive review of the files accessed to identify the individuals involved in the incident.”
OTC also says it will provide access to credit monitoring and identity theft protection services for one year through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company.
