California issued debit, EBT cards funds go missing

I work for the county and scammers got peoples birthdates and started getting unemployment payments under names that were still working. I am just saying because it is also a state/government program. Our workplace knew it was happening but didn't want to tell the employees so they could protect themselves, until we started getting letters from the unemployment office, then we all had to go through a lot of work to make sure our bank accounts and others were safe.... it is some sort of hackers that are able to access all these things. It seems like someone inside to me. The electronic systems have a lot of back doors that obviously are easy to access and not so easy to protect. I hope no one loses their home over this.
