NOTICE OF DATA SECURITY EVENT
February 13, 2025 – The Borough of Fairview (“Fairview”) discovered a data event that may have impacted the privacy of information related to certain individuals. This notice provides details of the event, Fairview’s response, and steps individuals may take to help protect their personal information should they feel it is appropriate to do so.
On or about June 21, 2023, Fairview identified suspicious activity in its network. Fairview immediately took steps to secure their network and initiated an investigation into the nature and scope of the activity. The investigation determined that Fairview’s network was subject to unauthorized access between June 13, and June 21, 2023, and that certain files were acquired by an unknown actor while on the network. In response, Fairview conducted a detailed review of the files determined to be at risk by this event to identify the type of information stored therein and to whom that information related. While Fairview has no evidence of misuse of any information or fraudulent activity as a result of this event, it is notifying individuals potentially impacted out of an abundance of caution.
The types of information that may have been present on the impacted systems includes name; Social Security number; driver’s license number; financial account information; medical information; and date of birth. Please note that the specific types of information vary for each individual.
Fairview is notifying potentially affected individuals by this media release and by mailing letters to individuals where address information is available. For individuals seeking additional information regarding this event, a dedicated toll-free assistance line has been established. Individuals may call the assistance line at 1-877-652-0973 between the hours of 6 am and 6 pm ET, Monday through Friday, excluding major U.S. holidays.
As a precautionary measure, Fairview encourages potentially affected individuals to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft by reviewing account statements, credit reports, for suspicious activity and to detect errors.
Additionally, under U.S. law, a consumer is entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. To order a free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. Consumers may also directly contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below to request a free copy of their credit report.
Consumers have the right to place an initial or extended “fraud alert” on a credit file at no cost. An initial fraud alert is a 1-year alert that is placed on a consumer’s credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on a consumer’s credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer’s identity before extending new credit. If consumers are the victim of identity theft, they are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud alert lasting seven years. Should consumers wish to place a fraud alert, please contact any of the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below.
As an alternative to a fraud alert, consumers have the right to place a “credit freeze” on a credit report, which will prohibit a credit bureau from releasing information in the credit report without the consumer’s express authorization. The credit freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in a consumer’s name without consent. However, consumers should be aware that using a credit freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in their credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application they make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the extension of credit. Pursuant to federal law, consumers cannot be charged to place or lift a credit freeze on their credit report. To request a credit freeze, individuals may need to provide some or all of the following information:
1. Full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.);
2. Social Security number;
3. Date of birth;
4. Addresses for the prior two to five years;
5. Proof of current address, such as a current utility bill or telephone bill;
6. A legible photocopy of a government-issued identification card (state driver’s license or ID card, etc.); and
7. A copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft if they are a victim of identity theft.
Should consumers wish to place a credit freeze or fraud alert, please contact any of the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below:
