Investigation notes

The City of Roseburg is a municipal government entity responsible for providing essential public services to its residents. As a local government body, the City typically collects and maintains sensitive personal information, including tax records, utility account details, payroll data for municipal employees, and various public permit applications. In 2025, the City of Roseburg officially reported a data security incident to the Maryland Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized parties may have accessed systems containing resident or employee information. If you received a data breach notification letter from the City, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within the affected environment. This notice is intended to inform you of the incident so that you can take appropriate steps to protect your identity and monitor your financial accounts.

What our attorneys examine

A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether The City of Roseburg 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 Maryland.
