\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOn Dec. 25, 2025, Leduc County learned it was the target of a deliberate cybersecurity incident that has been identified as a ransomware attack.
\nThe attack disabled some of the County’s information technology (IT) systems; other systems have been proactively disabled during an ongoing forensic investigation.
\nUpon learning of the incident, County administration took the following measures:<\/p>\n

On Dec. 25, administration engaged a third-party cybersecurity firm to support mitigation and investigation of the incident.
\nKey stakeholders were notified, including the RCMP and the County’s insurance and banking providers.
\nIncreased security measures were put in place.
\nIT systems were proactively disabled during the ongoing forensic investigation.<\/p>\n

The forensic investigation is not yet complete; however, work done to-date confirms minimal information has been affected.
\n“This is the type of incident no organization wants to go through,” says Leduc County Mayor Tanni Doblanko. “Fortunately for the County, the attack was caught quickly and administration was able to engage experts, disable systems and learn more about what we are dealing with. We understand residents and business stakeholders will want more information throughout the investigation, which we will share on our website as soon as it is available.”
\nCurrently, the County is completing the work necessary to resume normal business operations.
\nUpdates will be shared on Leduc County’s website at leduc-county.com.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
