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 New Brighton is a municipal government entity responsible for providing public services and managing 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, employment files, and vital statistics. This incident was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, confirming that the security of certain records was compromised. If you received a data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within the city's systems at the time of the event. We encourage you to review the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the identity protection services being offered to you.
