Manitowoc County

Manitowoc County was met with data breach of email account.

An unauthorized party was able to gain access to a Manitowoc County email account most likely through what is called a 'phishing' attack."

The county immediately secured the information technology system so the unauthorized party no longer had access to the emails.

The unauthorized party diverted emails into an email account not operated by Manitowoc County, some of which included personal information of individuals who received services through the county.

Compromised information includes names, addresses, birth dates, contact information, health insurance information and medical information.
