GBLS recently discovered that some individuals' personal in- formation may have been acquired when an unauthorized third party gained access to the GBLS computer network. GBLS has no evidence that anyone's personal information has been misused for the purpose of committing fraud or identity theft.

The notice will include information on steps individuals can take to protect themselves against potential fraud or identity theft.
