The Illinois State Police said they have added additional online security requirements to FOID online application system after hackers attempted to breach the site.
Specifically, the ISP is restricting the use and access of personal information that FOID card applicants submit in their online FOID account that could match Illinois resident personal identification information unlawfully obtained from any number of previous cyber breaches. The personal information did not come from ISP systems and servers, according to a news release.
