Data Breach Affects Oregon School Employees

A data breach at Carruth Compliance Consulting, a retirement plan administrator in Oregon, has potentially compromised sensitive information for thousands of current and former employees across multiple school districts, including Salem-Keizer, Beaverton, and Portland Public Schools. Unauthorized access occurred between December 19 and December 26, 2024, with the company discovering the breach on December 21. Compromised data may include names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and financial information. Affected employees, particularly those who have been with the districts since 2008, are being urged to monitor their accounts and take protective measures. The company has notified the FBI and is offering free credit monitoring services. Investigations are ongoing to assess the full extent of the breach and to implement enhanced security measures moving forward.
