"Mayor of Columbus, Ohio, Says Ransomware Attackers Stole Corrupted, Unusable Data"
Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther recently announced that 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 noted that the city never received a ransom request. The city learned that most of the data published to the dark web by the ransomware group Rhysida was corrupted or encrypted. The ransomware group claimed to have 6.5 terabytes of stolen data, including log-in information, emergency service files, and city camera access.
