Investigation notes
The City of McKinney, Texas, is a municipal government entity responsible for providing public services to its residents and managing administrative operations. As a local government, the city typically collects and stores sensitive personal information including Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, residential addresses, and financial data related to utility payments, taxes, and employment records. This data breach was officially reported to the New Hampshire Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized parties may have accessed systems containing resident or employee information. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from the city, it indicates that your personal information was potentially involved in this incident. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the protective measures being offered.
What our attorneys examine
A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether City of McKinney, Texas 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 New Hampshire.
