In March 2026, the Rhysida ransomware group claimed to have breached the Southold Town Senior Services and the Southold Police Department. The group reportedly put the allegedly compromised data up for auction on the dark web, with a 7-day timer set for the auction.
The specific categories of stolen information have not been explicitly detailed, and the number of affected individuals is unknown. There has been no official confirmation from the Southold Town Senior Services or the Southold Police Department regarding this reported incident.
Details can emerge later; notices may be delayed due to ongoing investigations.
