FIRST

FIRST fell victim to a data security breach in March 2017.

The exposed information included usernames names, email address, date of birth, and encrypted password.

Other personally identifiable, financial, or credit card information did not exposed.

To stop similar events from happening again and to safeguard the privacy of the FIRST community, FIRST was putting in place further security measures.

All participant passwords were reset out of an abundance of caution, despite the fact that the passwords were encrypted.
