The public record at this time does not specify the precise nature of the incident, such as how attackers gained access or the duration of their access.

Our investigation focuses on understanding the circumstances surrounding this incident and the Town of Apex's duty to protect the data it manages.
If you have received a notification letter from the Town of Apex, it is advisable to carefully review its contents for any specific instructions.
