Dear friend,

We are writing today to inform you about an important issue involving your e-mail address and password with Get the Facts NY.

The company that we contract with to provide online services has identified a breach of one of their internet security systems by an outside party. We have been informed that the breach was limited in scope and involves only e-mail addresses and passwords and did not involve any other personally identifiable information.

However, it is possible that your email address and the password you use for managing your email subscriptions with Get the Facts NY were obtained by an unauthorized third-party. You may not remember providing a password, but we have one on record for you and urge you to continue reading this message and follow our recommendations. If you use the same password for any other online service (like your bank or PayPal, places where you shop online like Amazon or other places, and your online email accounts), your information could be misused.

We strongly recommend that you take the precaution of changing your password with any online service or site as soon as possible.

We also recommend that you be on the alert regarding email that appears to be from a brand-name organization and that encourages you to visit a Web site to provide personal and financial information. Please be assured that we will never ask you to provide such personal information in an email. You should delete any such email you receive.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We take your privacy seriously, and we are committed to protecting it.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at info@getthefactsny.org <mailto:info@getthefactsny.org>.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Get the Facts NY
