Tulsa city officials on Wednesday said that hackers responsible for a ransomware attack last month are now sharing residents' personal information online.
Over 18,000 city files, including police reports and police department information, have been shared on the dark web, Tulsa’s chief information officer Michael Dellinger told The Associated Press.
“While we’re still investigating, some of the files contained personally identifiable information, such as name, date of birth, address and driver’s license (numbers),” he said.

Dellinger added that residents' social security numbers were not included in police reports.
The hackers responsible for the ransomware attack, which involves malicious software that places a lock on computer data until a ransom is paid, reportedly sent city officials a letter requesting that a payment be negotiated.
