COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Gov. Nikki Haley is holding a meeting of state agency directors.

Haley's office says the Republican is holding a Cabinet meeting Thursday in Columbia.

This is the first official meeting of agency heads since an announcement last week that millions of South Carolinians' taxpayer information had been compromised after an attack from an overseas hacker.

On Wednesday, Haley said up to 657,000 businesses in South Carolina had also been affected. The businesses affected are in addition to the roughly 3.6 million personal income tax returns accessed.

Last week, Haley ordered all state agencies to cooperate with South Carolina's inspector general in a new effort to improve the state's cyber-security
