The city of Columbus Ohio got hacked by a ransomware gang, they didn't pay the ransom so the gang released half of the stolen data which included secret police and prosecutor files. The leak exposed countless victims, witness and confidential informants personal info and communications with the city.
The city claimed NO info was leaked. A cyber security enthusiast went to the media and proved otherwise.
