If you received a letter about a data security incident involving the Fresno County Department of Social Services, it's natural to feel concerned. The agency recently reported that personal information it holds may have been affected. This incident, which happened on August 26, 2025, was formally reported on July 28, 2026.

The Fresno County Department of Social Services handles sensitive records as part of its public services. When your information is part of an event like this, it means unauthorized individuals might have gained access to your data. Protecting yourself from potential misuse is important.

Your first step should be to carefully read the notice you received. It may offer details about what the Department of Social Services is doing to help protect you. You should also start monitoring your financial accounts and credit reports for any unusual activity. Many services offer free credit monitoring, and you should take advantage of those if they are offered.

Next, be very cautious about any unexpected emails, phone calls, or text messages. Scammers often try to take advantage of data breaches by pretending to be legitimate organizations. Never share personal details in response to unsolicited requests. Consider changing important passwords, especially if you use the same ones across multiple online services.

Dealing with a data breach can be overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Our team can help you understand what this incident means for you and review your options. We offer a free case review to discuss your situation and answer your questions.
