Carlisle Borough's emergency alert provider, CodeRED, recently suffered a cyberattack, potentially compromising personal data of its users. CodeRED, operated by GardaWorld, is used to issue alerts for emergencies like boil water advisories and evacuations. According to borough officials, the attack might have exposed names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, and passwords of users.
The borough is urging residents with CodeRED accounts to change their passwords immediately, especially if they use similar passwords for other accounts. While there is currently no evidence that the stolen data has been posted online, the borough is taking precautions and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
Local21News reported that the attack did not affect any other municipal systems. The borough reassured residents that they will be informed when the service is restored and if re-registration is necessary.
