Foothills Park & Recreation District:
SECURITY ALERT
Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
Foothills Park & Recreation District in South Jefferson County is working with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in the investigation of a theft of information from the district’s computer network. The information - that appears to have been accessed through an illegal hacking - could contain credit card information and other personal information that could be used to commit identity theft. If information has, in fact, been stolen, it appears to be credit card information for individuals who have registered for classes either online at www.ifoothills.org or at one of Foothills Park & Recreation District’s facilities. Additional protections are being installed, and on-line registration will not be available until these measures are implemented.
