Carruth Incident
Last updated 1/27/25 2:40 p.m.
On January 13, 2025 we learned that Carruth Compliance Consulting, the third-party administrator of HSD's 403(b) and 457(b) retirement savings plans, discovered suspicious activity on its computer systems on December 21, 2024 (the "Carruth Incident" or "Incident"). Carruth reported an investigation revealed that sensitive employee data for Carruth's clients, including the Hillsboro School District, was affected. Carruth's customers include many Oregon school districts, education service districts, and other organizations.
Carruth reported that upon learning of the Incident, they began working with third-party specialists to investigate the activity, and then notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Carruth also engaged a sub-contractor to handle processing of information coming in from its clients. For the foreseeable future, no further retirement account transactions from HSD employees will be processed by Carruth. We are in the process of transitioning to another provider for these services and will share additional information in subsequent communications.
