Investigation notes
Box Elder County is a government entity responsible for managing public records, tax assessments, and administrative services for its constituents. As a local government agency, the county collects and maintains sensitive personal information, including social security numbers, tax identification details, and residential records necessary for public administration. This data breach was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized access to these systems occurred. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was among the data stored within the affected environment. This notice is intended to inform you of the incident so that you may take necessary precautions to protect your identity and financial security.
What our attorneys examine
A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether Box Elder County used reasonable security, how long it kept the data, and how quickly it told the people affected. Those questions decide whether a class action or individual claim is possible. Read more on how ransomware lawsuits work, or browse other incident files in Indiana.

Attorney advertising. An incident file reflects a public regulator filing and our review of it; it does not mean a lawsuit has been filed or that the company did anything unlawful. Submitting a review request does not create an attorney-client relationship.
