Milford Cyber Incident Disrupts Services After NAS Warning Ignored

Milford, New Hampshire, experienced a significant cyber incident beginning on July 15, 2026, which disrupted town services, including phone and internet access for various offices. Notifications indicated technical issues and the involvement of third-party forensic specialists in the investigation, although specific details on unauthorized activities remain undisclosed.

Concerns were raised about a pre-existing vulnerability related to a NAS device that was publicly accessible, highlighted by resident Eric 'Fisch' Fischer, who had previously advised the town on this security flaw without resolution. Despite his professional background and repeated warnings, the town did not act on these concerns. As of now, no claims of responsibility for the attack have been made, and the town has not provided updates on the restoration of services.
