What was exposed

The register’s list does not say what was exposed; the notice it links to (under Sources) usually does.

Before the notice: the ransomware gang INC Ransom named UNITE HERE on its leak site on 20 December 2023, 65 days before this was reported. Matched by the organisation’s name: the notice itself does not say who the attacker was.

If UNITE HERE had your data

  1. Look for UNITE HERE’s own notice or letter: it should say what of yours was involved. Keep it.
  2. The register’s list does not say what was exposed; the notice it links to (under Sources) usually does. If UNITE HERE has a password of yours, change it now to be safe.
  3. Expect scams that use your details: calls, texts or emails pretending to be UNITE HERE, your bank or the police. Never give codes or passwords, never approve a sign-in you did not start, never move money.
