The Town of West Point, Virginia, a municipal entity serving its community in Indiana, disclosed a data security incident reported on July 7, 2026. This breach, which occurred on or about March 30, 2026, exposed sensitive personal information that public sector organizations collect and maintain as part of their essential operations.
The compromised data types reportedly include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Address History, Utility Account and Payment Details, Property and Tax Records, Payroll and Employment Information, and Direct Deposit Details.
