City officials in Dallas revealed that hackers, who targeted the city in a cyberattack, had accessed the personal information of almost 300 more individuals than initially disclosed.
The additional individuals, including residents and employees, had their addresses, social security numbers, and other personal details compromised. The disclosure raises the total number of people affected by the data breach to over 30,000.
The city council had allocated nearly $8.6 million in response to the ransomware attack, but details on how the money is being spent remain undisclosed.
