Pittsburgh Regional Transit Reports Data Breach to New Hampshire AG

Port Authority of Allegheny County, operating as Pittsburgh Regional Transit, recently reported a data breach incident to the New Hampshire Attorney General's office. This notification confirms that unauthorized parties gained access to some of their systems, potentially exposing personal information. If you received a letter about this event, your data was likely among the affected records.

While the specific details of how the breach occurred remain under investigation, the core issue is that your personal information was compromised. Public transportation agencies like Pittsburgh Regional Transit typically maintain sensitive records for employees and contractors, including various administrative and human resources files. This means that the information involved could be diverse.

Receiving a data breach notification is serious. It's crucial to carefully review the letter from Pittsburgh Regional Transit, as it should contain important details about the incident and any protective measures they are offering. Pay close attention to any free credit monitoring services or identity theft protection they provide and consider enrolling.

Beyond what the company offers, you should remain vigilant against suspicious communications like phishing emails or unexpected phone calls asking for personal details. Monitor your accounts for any unusual activity and consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit reports. These actions can help protect you against potential misuse of your exposed data.
