Investigation notes

The City of San Clemente is a municipal government entity responsible for providing public services to its residents and managing administrative operations. As a local government body, the City typically collects and stores sensitive personal information, including resident identification records, tax and utility payment details, and employee personnel files. In 2025, the City of San Clemente officially reported a data security incident to the California Attorney General. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information may have been involved in this unauthorized access event. This notice is intended to inform you of the nature of the incident and the steps the City is taking to address the security compromise and protect your data.

What our attorneys examine

A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether City of San Clemente 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 California.
