Investigation notes
Chester County Probation, Parole, and Pretrial Services is a government agency responsible for the supervision of individuals within the criminal justice system. As part of their official duties, they collect and maintain sensitive personal information, including criminal history records, Social Security numbers, home addresses, and court-mandated supervision details.

This notice is intended to inform you of the incident and provide guidance on the steps you should take to protect your identity and monitor your personal accounts.
What our attorneys examine
A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether Chester County Probation / Parole and Pretrial Services used reasonable security, how long it kept the data, and how quickly it told the people affected. Those questions decide whether a class action or individual claim is possible. Read more on how ransomware lawsuits work, or browse other incident files in Indiana.

Attorney advertising. An incident file reflects a public regulator filing and our review of it; it does not mean a lawsuit has been filed or that the company did anything unlawful. Submitting a review request does not create an attorney-client relationship.
