The following is a news release from the Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness: On Wednesday, June 21, the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) announced that additional information has been added to the website nextsteps.la.gov to help Louisianans better protect themselves against identity theft in light of last week’s MOVEit cybersecurity breach in Louisiana as well as several other states and countries. It also provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. Louisiana is one of several states, federal agencies, private entities, and international organizations impacted by the incident. MOVEit is an industry-leading third-party data transfer service that is widely used to send large files. “We’re continuing to monitor the impact of this incident and aside from the Office of Motor Vehicles, there’s no indication that any additional agencies are affected,” said GOHSEP Director Casey Tingle. “There’s also no evidence that the data has been sold, used, shared or released. We know that many people have many questions about what happened and the updated information on the website is designed to provide answers to help everyone better understand how the state is responding and what they can do to protect their personal information. In addition to working with state agencies, we are also in constant contact with our federal partners to identify the scope and severity of this incident and will continue to provide any new information as it becomes available.”
Gov. John Bel Edwards has vetoed approximately $2.3 million worth of pet projects planned for the home communities of eight conservative Louisiana House members who refused to go along with spending $1.4 billion in additional state revenue this year. Nineteen conservative representatives, including the eight who lost project funding, fought Edwards and legislative leaders on lifting a constitutionally mandated state spending restriction. The governor and legislature needed to raise that cap in order to access most of Louisiana’s unprecedented cash largesse this year. The conservatives wanted to put the state’s additional funding into savings accounts and toward paying down debt. Edwards and Senate President Page Cortez, R-Lafayette, pushed to raise the cap in order to put more money into infrastructure projects, public universities, teacher pay and early childhood education.
