City manager says portal error exposed private data for about 125 people; notifications and credit monitoring planned
Summary
The city manager told council staff discovered an inadvertent disclosure of private information affecting about 125 individuals; IT isolated the issue, staff will notify affected people and offer credit monitoring, and the city is addressing the portal vulnerability.
The city manager told the council during closing remarks that earlier in the month staff discovered an inadvertent disclosure of private information affecting approximately 125 individuals through a city portal.
The manager said the issue was unintentional, that IT isolated and resolved the problem, and that staff will notify the people directly affected and offer credit monitoring similar to prior responses the city used after an outside vendor incident. He said the disclosure was brought to the city’s attention by a citizen and staff thanked the resident for the report.
City staff said they spent several days investigating to ensure no other issues existed and that they are treating the matter as human error. The manager said the city will take responsibility and contact those affected. No details on the type of data exposed were given in the public transcript; staff said they are working to notify the affected people and provide protections.
