Arapahoe County, CO – Residents who use the CodeRED emergency alert system are being urged to update their passwords following confirmation of a nationwide cyberattack affecting the service’s legacy database.
According to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, CodeRED (operated by Crisis24/OnSolve) was the target of a cyberattack that resulted in the theft of user data, including names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, and passwords linked to CodeRED accounts.
Officials said there is no current evidence the stolen data has been publicly released but advised users to remain vigilant by monitoring their personal accounts, credit, and online activity.
The Sheriff’s Office noted that since October, it has been transitioning from CodeRED to the RAVE Alert System, which offers enhanced reliability and security for emergency notifications. Residents can opt into the new system by texting ArapAlertSO to 226787 to receive notifications directly.
Authorities encourage anyone using the same password across multiple accounts to update those immediately.
