Reply to comment by OneHelluvaUsername in Cyberattack takes down land-records management system used by many Vermont towns by sickter6

When and how do you think the clerks will be able to prove nothing is missing from the records? If you do a ‘full search’ in one of these towns now, how can you be sure it is a ‘full search’ since now you know someone has been in there playing around with the records!? How do we know the hackers didn’t delete any and all irs liens for example. This is my concern…

Well, it's been my experience that town clerks have a sixth sense about these things (docs missing from their records), but I'd say the actual burden of proof on that falls to the forensic auditors.

VT digitizing records is relatively new compared to some other states. I believe they got funding from the CARES Act to do so.

Go to the card catolog indexes. They're sorted alphabetically by grantor/grantee name. Depending on the town, they'll be current (except for any docs received/submitted for recording 12/25/22 or later).
