APD Investigates Third-Party Cybersecurity Incident, Says No Evidence of Data Compromise

The Anchorage Police Department was notified on January 7, 2026 of a cybersecurity incident linked to third-party vendor Whitebox Technologies. APD says there is no evidence its systems or data were accessed, but officials shut down relevant servers, revoked vendor access, removed APD data from the vendor, and continue monitoring while the vendor leads an investigation; the incident highlights growing third-party risk to municipal agencies.
