Municipal networks like Milford's are often targets for cybercriminals seeking to exfiltrate vast amounts of personal information. While the specifics of this incident are under investigation, such breaches commonly involve unauthorized access to systems containing databases of residents', employees', and vendors' data. The compromise of your personal information can lead to various long-term risks.

Under Massachusetts law, including the Massachusetts Data Security Regulations (201 CMR 17.00), public entities like the Town of Milford are legally obligated to protect personal information with robust security measures.
