Investigation notes
The City of New Brighton is a municipal government entity responsible for providing public services and managing administrative records for its residents. As a local government body, the City typically collects and stores sensitive personal information, including tax records, utility account details, employment files, and vital statistics. This incident was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, confirming that the security of certain records was compromised. If you received a data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within the city's systems at the time of the event. We encourage you to review the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the identity protection services being offered to you.
What our attorneys examine
A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether City of New Brighton 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.
