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 Royal Oak is a municipal government entity responsible for managing essential public services, administrative records, and infrastructure for its residents. As a local government agency, the City typically collects and maintains sensitive personal information, including tax records, utility billing data, employment files, and public safety documentation. In 2025, the City of Royal Oak officially reported a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized access to their systems occurred. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from the City, it indicates that your personal information was potentially compromised during this event. This notice is intended to inform you of the incident and provide guidance on the steps you should take to protect your identity and financial security.
