The Illinois Housing Development Authority said it is taking steps to protect applicants’ personal information. On Feb. 1, IHDA became aware of a breach of the Illinois Rental Payment Program web portal where some tenant applicants could see documents submitted by other tenant applicants. The agency determined the exposure was not caused by hackers, but by a coding error on the portal.
