ONE POINT HR SOLUTIONS, INC. PROVIDES NOTICE OF POTENTIAL DATA EVENT

Lexington, KY (October 11, 2024) – One Point HR Solutions, Inc. ("One Point") is providing a notice of an event that may impact the privacy of certain personal information.

What Happened? One Point recently became aware of suspicious activity in our email environment. We quickly launched an internal investigation and engaged third-party forensic and data privacy specialists to investigate the nature and scope of the activity. The investigation determined that an unknown unauthorized actor gained access to certain email accounts between July 3, 2023 and February 14, 2024. We then undertook a comprehensive and time-intensive review of the potentially impacted data with the assistance of additional data privacy specialists to identify the information contained within, identify the individuals whose information may have been impacted, and identify accurate address information for potentially impacted individuals.

What Information Was Involved? The type of information potentially impacted varies by individual, but includes individuals' date of birth, driver's license and/or state identification number, federal employer identification number, financial account information, government identification number, health insurance information, individual tax identification number, medical information, passport number, payment card information, Social Security number, username and/or email address with password, and name. Again, One Point is unaware of any attempted or actual misuse of any individuals' information.

What We Are Doing. The confidentiality, privacy, and security of information in our care is among our highest priorities. Upon learning of the suspicious activity, we quickly commenced an investigation to investigate the nature and scope of the event. Further, we promptly reported the event to federal and local law enforcement and are cooperating with their investigations. We are reviewing existing security polices and have implemented additional cybersecurity measures to further protect against similar events moving forward. We also reinforced with our staff the importance of safeguarding information in our care and worked with numerous data privacy specialists to assist in the response. Additionally, we undertook a robust effort to review the potentially impacted data to ensure we could notify any potentially impacted individuals so they may take steps to best protect the information, should they feel it appropriate to do so.

What You Can Do. We encourage all individuals to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing their account statements and monitoring their free credit reports for suspicious activity and to detect errors. As a best practice individuals should frequently change their password for all online accounts. Under U.S. law, a consumer is entitled to one (1) free credit report annually from each of the three (3) major credit reporting bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. To order a free credit report, visit http://www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1 (877) 322-8228. Consumers may also directly contact the three (3) major credit reporting bureaus listed below to request a free copy of their credit report.

Consumers have the right to place an initial or extended "fraud alert" on a credit file at no cost. An initial fraud alert is a one (1) year alert that is placed on a consumer's credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on a consumer's credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer's identity before extending new credit. If consumers are the victim of identity theft, they are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud alert lasting seven (7) years. Should consumers wish to place a fraud alert, please contact any of the three (3) major credit reporting bureaus listed below.

As an alternative to a fraud alert, consumers have the right to place a "credit freeze" on a credit report, which will prohibit a credit bureau from releasing information in the credit report without the consumer's express authorization. The credit freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in a consumer's name without consent. However, consumers should be aware that using a credit freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in their credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application they make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the extension of credit. Pursuant to federal law, consumers cannot be charged to place or lift a credit freeze on their credit report. To request a credit freeze, individuals may need to provide some or all of the following information:

1. Full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.);
2. Social Security number;
3. Date of birth;
4. Addresses for the prior two (2) to five (5) years;
5. Proof of current address, such as a current utility bill or telephone bill;
6. A legible photocopy of a government-issued identification card (state driver's license or ID card, etc.); and
7. A copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft if they are a victim of identity theft.

Should consumers wish to place a credit freeze or fraud alert, please contact the three (3) major credit reporting bureaus listed below:
