Investigation notes

The City of Miami Beach is a municipal government entity responsible for providing essential public services to its residents and visitors. As a local government body, the City typically collects and maintains sensitive personal information, including tax records, utility account details, permit applications, and employee personnel files. In 2025, the City of Miami Beach officially reported a data security incident to the New Hampshire Attorney General, indicating that unauthorized parties may have accessed systems containing resident or employee data. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from the City, it means your personal information may have been involved in this incident. This notice is intended to inform you of the event and provide guidance on the steps you should take 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 City of Miami Beach 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.
