On November 2, 2023, we discovered that a virus had impacted the Facility’s computer systems. We quickly took steps to minimize its impact, took other necessary actions to protect the Facility’s systems, and have been investigating the matter. We have been working with a forensic security consultant to identify the nature and scope of the incident and the data taken from the Facility’s system. The FBI is also investigating this incident.
Our investigation and review of the affected data is active and ongoing, and over the course of our review of the affected data from late November into early December, we have identified at least 1,454 detainees, 438 current and former staff, and 92 outside vendors who were affected. At this time, we believe that various types of data were taken from the Facility’s systems and posted on the dark web, including certain financial information, certain detainees’ medical information, certain current and former staff information, and certain vendor information. Some of this information included names, home addresses (city/state/zip), personal home/cellphone numbers, birth dates, hire dates, job titles, and in some, but not all, instances, Social Security numbers. The Facility regrets any concern this incident may have caused, and we are committed to helping minimize any possible impact. Individuals affected by this incident are being notified as required by law, and free credit monitoring will be offered to affected and eligible individuals. As our review continues, if we discover additional individuals affected by the incident, we will send any required notices to those additional individuals, as well.

The data did show up on the dark web. The Play ransomware group added the facility to their leak site in mid-November and leaked it shortly thereafter.
