The mayor of Ohio’s capital city says data recently stolen by hackers was unusable and that no personal information about city workers was made available online
Hackers recently stole data from Ohio's largest city, but what they got was not usable and no personal information about city workers was made available online, the mayor said.
The group initially claimed to have 6.5 terabytes of stolen data — including log-in information, emergency service files and city camera access — that it unsuccessfully put up for auction. But Ginther said the city’s forensics indicated the group had far less data than that, and that its screenshots posted to the dark web were “the most compelling asset” it had.
The city’s payroll system was accessed long enough to view files, but there is no evidence files were downloaded or posted to the dark web, city officials said. There also is no evidence that data belonging to the general public was exposed.
