Full breach record for Department of Child Support Services

On April 7, 2014, the California Department of Child Support Services reported that letters containing personal information were misplaced by a contracted courier while in transit to the US Post Office in Solano County. Although many letters were recovered, it could not be determined if all reached their destinations. The agency implemented procedural changes to prevent recurrence and recommended affected individuals place fraud alerts on their credit files.
