Investigation notes
The City of Henderson is a municipal government entity responsible for providing essential public services to its residents. In the course of managing civic operations, the city typically collects and stores sensitive personal information, including tax records, utility account details, payroll data for municipal employees, and various permit or licensing applications. This data breach was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, and the city has since issued formal notification letters to all impacted individuals. If you have received such a letter, it indicates that your personal information may have been compromised while stored within the city's digital infrastructure. We are currently reviewing the circumstances of this incident to determine the extent of the exposure and the potential impact on affected residents.
What our attorneys examine
A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether City of Henderson 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.
