West Chester Township email-system intrusion
Claim details
PEAR claimed West Chester Township (westchesteroh.org) in connection with the first August 2025 intrusion and allegedly took 2 TB. Contemporaneous reporting places the claim by Aug. 15; the aggregator’s later Sept. 14 discovery timestamp is not the attack or original claim publication date. The township confirmed an intrusion but had not verified the alleged theft or publicly attributed it to PEAR. Its later statement links the two phases to the same unnamed group, not independently to PEAR.
