On or about September 3, 2024, Propark Mobility (“Propark”) sent a notification letter via mail to victims of its cybersecurity incident. This letter informed recipients that sensitive personal information they provided for employment was accessed by an unauthorized party who breached Propark’s network between January 15, 2024, and January 18, 2024. On September 2, 2024, Propark reported this Data Breach to the Attorney General of California.
Propark has offered victims of the Data Breach one year of free credit monitoring services as well as $1 million in identity theft insurance through Experian IdentityWorksSM.
Headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, Propark Mobility is a national parking management company. They offer various services, including valet, shuttle, and electrification solutions, and operate over 1,000 locations across the United States. The company employs over 4,000 people and generates approximately $200 million in annual revenue.
WHAT INFORMATION IS INVOLVED?
As the Data Breach was only recently announced, Propark has only disclosed very limited information so far. We are closely monitoring the ongoing investigation, and more details are expected to emerge as the company is required to notify all impacted individuals. If you received a data breach notification letter or email from Propark, it indicates that your information was compromised in the Data Breach.
Typically, the confidential information compromised in such cybersecurity incidents involves your name, date of birth, Social Security number, driver’s license information, government-issued ID number, financial information, as well as health insurance information and medical information.
Collectively, this information is considered your Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). It tells others about you and is considered part of your identity. Businesses are required to secure this information or risk facing statutory penalties, among other legal penalties. Stolen PII can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity.
Specifically, personal medical information (a specific type of PII) is referred to as Protected Health Information (“PHI”). It is protected under both state and federal law. Healthcare providers and other businesses that handle PHI are required to protect that information. Like stolen PII, stolen PHI can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity. Quite often, PII and PHI are used in conjunction by hackers.
The best way to protect yourself after a data breach is to sign up for credit and identity protection services as soon as possible. California offers extra protections and legal rights to its residents through the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
