Blaine County has reported a potential data exposure involving its Community Notification system provider, CodeRED, due to a cyber attack. The breach was discovered in November 2025, and impacted users are being notified.

Blaine County’s Data Exposure Incident

On November 11, 2025, Blaine County was notified by CodeRED, its Community Notification system provider, about a security breach affecting their servers. Initially, CodeRED shut down access to the system as a precautionary measure, though it was unclear whether any data had been compromised at that time. The situation remained uncertain until November 21, 2025, when CodeRED confirmed that the breach had been caused by an organized cybercriminal group. Unfortunately, the data stored on the affected servers was compromised.

In response, Blaine County has begun notifying potentially impacted individuals through social media and is continuing to monitor the situation. While the county continues to investigate the breach’s full scope, it is providing this notice to ensure that individuals who may have been affected are informed.
