In the city of Fort Worth, an investigation is underway. Computer forensic experts are combing the city’s computer systems to find out just how much was stolen in a hack discovered on Friday.
“It appears the hackers downloaded file attachments to work orders within the system,” said I.T. Solutions Director Kevin Gunn.
Gunn said the group SeigedSec targeted an internal system used to manage maintenance activities, stealing and publicly posting hundreds of files including photographs of street repairs, spreadsheets, invoices for work performed and emails between staff. “The data contained in the amount of information that we’ve been able to go through has not been sensitive in nature. And by and large, it’s information that we would release through a public information act request,” he said.According to the city, in its post, the hacking group included the message, “We have decided to make a message towards the U.S. government. Texas happens to be one of the largest states banning gender-affirming care and for that, we have made Texas a target.
This attack comes as the city of Dallas continues to recover from a ransomware attack in May that crippled several departments.
