Full breach record for Pinal County Superintendent's Office

Pinal County Superintendent's Office (PCSO) experienced a network security incident on September 25, 2023, resulting in employees being locked out of the data processing environment. PCSO processes payroll and administrative services for Pinal County school districts. The incident potentially compromised personally identifiable information (PII) of employees, including names, Social Security Numbers, and bank account/routing numbers. PCSO restored data from backups, coordinated with law enforcement, and retained a forensic IT firm. No forensic evidence confirmed PII compromise, but notice was sent proactively. 24 months of credit monitoring offered.
