Investigation notes

Union County, Pennsylvania, operates as a government entity responsible for managing public records, administrative services, and essential community infrastructure. As a public sector organization, the county typically collects and stores sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, tax records, voter registration details, and various government-issued identification numbers required for public services. This security incident was officially reported to the New Hampshire Attorney General in 2025, confirming that the organization’s systems were compromised. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within the affected systems. We recommend reviewing 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 Union County, Pennsylvania 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.
