"Tulsa: Ransomware Attackers Leaked 18,000 Files"

The City of Tulsa has learned that the persons responsible for the ransomware attack that it faced in May 2021 leaked more than 18,000 city files on the dark web. According to a statement from the city officials, most of the files are police citations and internal department files. The police citations include Personal Identifiable Information (PII), such as names, dates of births, addresses, and driver's license numbers.

Callow says the Tulsa ransomware attack marks the 37th time a municipality has been hit with ransomware this year. Residents who have filed a police report, received a police citation, made a payment with the city, or interacted with the city online, in-person, or on paper before May 2021 are advised to take monitoring precautions.
