OneMain has not disclosed the specific type of cyberattack or identified the party responsible. The exposed information included names, addresses, Social Security numbers and other account-related information. State filings show the breach affected at least 15,472 Texas residents, 1,516 South Carolina residents and 960 Oregon residents; it was also reported to California's attorney general.
