“The city of Whitehall has sent out 37,000 notification letters to people in 11 states and one U.S. territory alerting them that their personal information may have been compromised following a ransomware attack that happened in late May.“
“When asked why it took city administrators until December to notify those potentially affected, a city administrator told 10 Investigates that it has taken this long to identify those who may have been impacted. “
“City administrator Zach Woodruff also told 10 Investigates that after learning of the breach in late May, the city hired a law firm and a cybersecurity firm to help determine what happened. “
“On Tuesday, the city posted a notification of the data breach to its website and included a Frequently Asked Questions tab should those impacted need to know more information. “
