On September 18, 2025, East Bay Regional Park District discovered that an employee had emailed an attachment containing confidential information to their personal email account. The attachment included sensitive personal data. After an extensive investigation, the Park District determined on November 12, 2025, that it could not confirm with certainty that the data was not subject to unauthorized access.
While there is no evidence of misuse, the Park District concluded that certain personal information may have been exposed. Out of caution, the Park District is notifying affected individuals and offering complimentary identity monitoring services through Kroll, which include credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity theft restoration.
