Investigation notes
The City of Boise 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 typically collects and stores sensitive personal information including Social Security numbers, driver’s license details, and financial records related to utility payments, taxes, and employment. In 2025, the City of Boise officially reported a data security incident to the Idaho Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized access to their systems occurred. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within the affected systems. This letter serves as your primary resource for understanding the scope of the incident and the specific steps the City is taking to assist those impacted.
What our attorneys examine
A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether City of Boise 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 Idaho.

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.
