Financial Administrative Support Services, a company providing crucial back-office support and payroll processing, announced a data breach on September 25, 2026, to the California Attorney General's Office. This security incident, which reportedly occurred around May 26, 2025, compromised sensitive data entrusted to the company's systems.

What to do if you were affected
Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.
Freeze your credit
Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.
Guard against tax fraud
File your tax return as early as possible and consider requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN so no one can file a fraudulent return in your name.
