At least four states are warning residents who have applied online for unemployment benefits because of the coronavirus that their personal information may have been leaked.

The breaches stem from two incidents in which states hired contractors to quickly implement the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program, or PUA, a version of unemployment insurance for Americans who don't qualify for conventional unemployment benefits but are otherwise unable to work because of the pandemic.
