We are sharing an update on the technical issues MNLC is experiencing.
When the issue was first identified, it appeared to be a technical disruption with one of our systems. Through further investigation, we confirmed that the technical issue was the result of a malicious cybersecurity incident.
Since then, we have been working closely with external cybersecurity experts to understand what happened, contain the incident, and secure our systems.
Based on what we know so far, we have not found evidence that clients’ personal information has been accessed. Our investigation is ongoing, and we are continuing to assess the full scope. If we determine that anyone’s personal information has been affected, we will contact those individuals directly.
We know this disruption has made it harder to reach us, and we are sorry for the frustration and concern this may have caused—especially for the newcomers, refugees, and others in our community who rely on our services. We understand that privacy, safety, and access to support are especially important, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Our phone and email systems remain temporarily unavailable as we take the necessary steps to restore them safely. In the meantime, you can continue to reach us at the temporary emails listed below for urgent matters, or visit us in person.
As a precaution, we encourage everyone to be cautious of unexpected emails, phone calls, or messages claiming to be from our organization. We will not ask for sensitive personal information through unofficial channels.
We will continue to share updates as we learn more.
Thank you for your patience and trust. We are actively addressing the incident and strengthening our systems to better protect the people we serve.
Our offices will be closed from Friday, April 3 to Monday, April 6. We will reopen on Tuesday, April 7.
Happy Easter to those who celebrate!
