We want to share an important update from our emergency alert provider, CodeRED. They recently experienced a targeted cyberattack that impacted their system, which has been taken offline while they work on restoring the system. The Commonwealth Fusion Center, Massachusetts’ statewide intelligence hub, has learned through their investigation that a ransomware group has taken responsibility for this attack, and the group has claimed that user account data has been stolen. This data includes basic contact information for CodeRED users: - names - addresses - email address(es) - phone numbers - passwords used to create CodeRED accounts. The Commonwealth Fusion Center recommends if you used the same password for CodeRED that you use for any other account, we strongly recommend changing those passwords right away. CodeRED has decommissioned the old platform and is moving all customers to the new CodeRED by Crisis24 system, which was not impacted by the attack and has undergone additional security testing. We will continue to share updates as they become available, including when the service is restored and whether users will need to re-register. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
