Hackers stole the equivalent of more than 800,000 digital files from the city of Dallas in a ransomware attack earlier this year.
The May 3 attack took city services offline for weeks and damaged equipment and software.
The attack also exposed the personal information of at least 30,000 people. City officials believe that number could go up in the coming months. We now know the ransomware attack on the city of Dallas has cost taxpayers more than $8.5 million so far. Dallas City Council members approved paying the expenses on Wednesday while also questioning if two years of credit monitoring for the 27,000 victims identified so far is enough.
