The TSP does not have any evidence that any personal information has been used or is being misused or disclosed to other persons, FRTIB said.

FRTIB said it is sending notification letters to affected persons, providing them information on how to contact a call center set up to provide support and services such as credit montoring. Alerts will be placed on the affected TSP accounts to monitor activity as an added precaution. It has already sent notification letters on Friday to all those whose personal information was on the files.

The FRTIB has hired risk consulting company Kroll to provide its ID TheftSmart service for one year to the affected individuals.

FRTIB and Serco executives expressed regret for the incident in separate statements.
