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 McKinney, Texas, is a municipal government entity responsible for providing public services to its residents and managing administrative operations. As a local government, the city typically collects and stores sensitive personal information including Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, residential addresses, and financial data related to utility payments, taxes, and employment records. This data breach was officially reported to the New Hampshire Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized parties may have accessed systems containing resident or employee information. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from the city, it indicates that your personal information was potentially involved in this incident. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the protective measures being offered.
