Iowa investigators say they believe a breach of a state computer database can be traced to China. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission said someone hacked into one of its computer servers last week.

The server contained records of more than 80,000 casino employees including birth dates and Social Security numbers. While they believe the breach came from China, they acknowledge the hackers disguised their digital footprints.

Officials say they don’t know if personal information was stolen but they are proceeding as if all the data was compromised.
