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

Latah County is a local government entity responsible for managing public records, administrative services, and various essential community functions. As a government body, it collects and maintains sensitive personal information from residents, including tax records, property data, and employee personnel files. This data breach was officially reported to the Idaho Attorney General in 2024, prompting an investigation into the security of the county's digital infrastructure. If you received a data breach notification letter from Latah County, it indicates that your personal information may have been accessed or acquired by an unauthorized party. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the incident and the identity protection services being offered to those affected.
