What Happened?
On March 27, 2025, SEIU Local 1 became aware of suspicious activity involving certain email accounts.
An investigation revealed that there was unauthorized access to one account on two separate days: March 4, 2025, and March 27, 2025. SEIU Local 1 took steps to secure its systems and launched a review to determine what information may have been affected.
The investigation found that sensitive information may have been exposed. The review is ongoing, but the types of information potentially involved include:
Information Exposed:
- Names
- Dates of birth
- Social Security information
- Financial information
SEIU Local 1 has stated that they will notify affected individuals by letter once the review is complete and contact information is available.
Your Rights and Next Steps
If you believe your information was involved in this breach, there are important steps you can take to protect yourself. SEIU Local 1 recommends that affected individuals:
- Remain vigilant by reviewing account statements and monitoring credit reports for suspicious activity or errors
- Take advantage of the right to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion
- Consider placing a fraud alert on credit files, which requires businesses to verify identity before extending new credit
- Consider placing a credit freeze on credit reports to prevent unauthorized access or new accounts being opened in your name
If identity theft is suspected, individuals have the right to file a police report and contact the Federal Trade Commission for further guidance.
