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 Michigan City, Indiana, is a municipal government entity responsible for providing public services to its residents and managing administrative operations. As a local government body, the City typically collects and maintains sensitive personal information, including payroll data for employees, tax records, utility account details, and various permit or licensing applications. This security incident was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized access to certain systems occurred. If you received a data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was stored within the impacted systems at the time of the event. We encourage you to carefully review the notification letter provided by the City to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the recommended protective measures.
