According to The Daily Herald, a Carpentersville employee inadvertently sent a file containing banking information for over 1,200 residents who use auto-pay for water bills. The file was mistakenly attached to an email that the employee intended to send.
Upon realizing the mistake, officials promptly alerted the tech company, which destroyed the email without opening the file. To prevent similar incidents, the village has implemented an automatic delay on all employee emails. While the village believes that the financial information was not further transmitted, residents are advised to contact their financial institutions and the police if they notice any suspicious activity on their accounts.that I have read and agree
