I received a letter in the mail today regarding a data breach in the Town of Salem, NH last October. Evidently, their system was hacked and personal information (including mine) was obtained. I've lived in CA for over 30 years and have never even been to NH before, let alone the Town of Salem.
I called the CS # given in the letter and they were not able to tell me why my information would be in the town's database. I have verified that the letter is not a scam. I guess I will call the Salem Town Hall directly tomorrow to see if I can find out anything else, but this is going to bug me until then.
I did check my credit report online and everything's fine. I had my identify stolen many years ago and had always kept a fraud alert on my credit file until it expired earlier this year. I'm thinking I should probably put it back on just to be safe.
