City of McMinnville

Unauthorized access touched McMinnville's network from June 1 to July 18, 2026, and the city sat on that for ten weeks before notifying residents on September 29. The ransomware group RansomHouse claims the stolen files; the city's notice covers only the legal minimum. An independent review by a local resident with a cybersecurity background of the leak found tax returns, bank records, HR files, police investigative material, and medical data in the same haul, and pointed to a leaky city website as the source. This incident looks messy with a different viewpoint offered by the ransomware gang, the city's disclosures and a lone citizen willing to investigate.
