Recent ransomware attack on township server update!

As you may know, we recently experienced a cybersecurity incident which
impacted our network environment’s functionality. We quickly brought in
forensic specialists to examine the network, perform restoration in a
secure manner and determine whether sensitive information was impacted.
We also notified law enforcement of the event and we are assisting with
their investigation.

Now that the investigation is concluded, and we have more information
for you, we are happy to announce that there is no evidence that any
data, let alone sensitive personal data, was impacted by this event.
This is largely due to our robust cybersecurity policies and the
response time of our IT team.
