The investigation determined that someone accessed the SCPO’s network without authorization between July 15 and July 22 and that certain files containing personal information were accessed and may have been acquired. That information varied by individual but included first and last name along with the person’s Social Security number and driver’s license or state-issued identification card number.”The prosecutor’s office said it has since added to its pre-existing security measures and state and federal law enforcement, the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell and the Office of Attorney General also have been informed of the incident.An email with questions about the breach went unanswered, as the prosecutor’s office declined to comment as did Sussex County Administrator Christina Marks.Last year, a data breach in the form of a phishing scam hit the county.Anyone seeking more information can call 888-269-1448 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays.</div></body>
