INCIDENT

San Francisco, California-based Recology, formerly known as Norcal Waste Systems, suffered a cyberattack this past November and is continuing to inform victims of the attack.

The waste management company that collects and processes municipal solid waste, reclaiming reusable materials said it has no reason to believe any personal information ended up misused “for the purpose of committing fraud or identity theft as a result of the incident.”

Recology previously identified and notified a group of individuals. The company subsequently identified additional individuals whose information may have been accessed and is now sending out another note to victims. (August 2024)
