The Fresno County Department of Social Services operates as a county government agency providing public assistance, social services, and community support programs to residents. In this capacity, the agency routinely collects and stores sensitive personal data including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, financial information, and confidential case records. Official records indicate that a data security incident affecting this information was formally reported to the California Attorney General in 2026. Individuals whose personal information was potentially compromised have been mailed an official data breach notification letter detailing the incident. This notice serves to inform affected community members about the nature of the event and the protective resources being made available to them.
