Florida-based NationBenefits previously confirmed more than 7,100 state residents had their information stolen in a "mass ransomware attack," which targeted Forta's GoAnywhere file transfer software. A NationBenefits spokesperson declined to say what the general nature of the contents of members' stolen data was.
