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 Roanoke, Virginia, is a municipal government entity responsible for providing essential public services to its residents and managing various administrative functions. As a government body, the City collects and maintains sensitive personal information, including tax records, utility account details, payroll data for municipal employees, and various permit or licensing information. In 2026, the City officially reported a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized access to its systems occurred. If you received a data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within the affected systems during the time of the incident. This notification is intended to inform you of the nature of the event and the steps the City is taking to address the security compromise.
