ACSC’s Data Breach Investigation

ACSC became aware of the security incident after their third-party vendor, DSS, experienced a data breach.

To further protect impacted individuals, ACSC has offered a complimentary two-year membership of credit monitoring and identity protection services provided by Epiq. These services are designed to help individuals detect any misuse of their personal information and offer identity theft protection solutions.
