has affected the city’s information system. Cybercriminals are holding personal data like social security numbers and banking information for ransom. If you’re affected, you will be notified by mail.
“That’s been a shock to me,” Todd Smith, Beaches Energy customer, said. He’s just now finding out about the breach. “They should have let people know that they were affected, not now, you going to let them know, but you should have been letting them know. Because people could have been more aware of what happened, instead of now months later, that’s not okay.”
“On January 29, we immediately contacted state and federal authorities, and consulted with our cybersecurity advisors. The City of Jacksonville Beach followed the advice given to us regarding investigation, mitigation, and recovery. When we realized data had been compromised, appropriate steps were taken to secure our computer systems, and effected customers are being alerted that their information may have been compromised,” Mayor Hoffman said.
“It should concern everybody, it’s your social security number,” Jessie Klare, Beaches Energy Consumer, said.
