The first batch of stolen data leaked potentially compromised employee IDs and passports along with social security and bank account information.The personal and financial account information of thousands of city workers and small business owners may be compromised after a ransomware group leaked its first batch of stolen data.
"This is even more serious now," said Councilmember Noel Gallo. "It looks like it's going to be around for a while... the impact will be a lot greater and tremendous." The ransomware attack happened on Feb. 8 and has been crippling city systems ever since. Oakland declared a local state of emergency the following week. Several non-emergency systems, including phone lines within the city of Oakland were impacted or offline, but the city said 911, fire, and other emergency resources and financial data were not impacted. But now concerns over financial data leaks is the latest threat.
