Was this a ransomware attack?

The filing does not say ransomware was involved. We do not label an incident ransomware unless the company’s report says so. Whatever the cause, the steps to protect yourself and the legal question are the same.

What we know

The City of Ashland, Wisconsin, is a municipal government entity responsible for providing essential public services and maintaining administrative records for its residents. As a local government body, the City typically collects and stores sensitive personal information, including tax records, utility account details, payroll data for municipal employees, and various public permit applications. This incident was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized access to certain systems occurred. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from the City, it indicates that your personal information may have been compromised during this event. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the identity protection services being offered to those affected.
