Turns out thousands of people had their personal information breached following the recent ransomware attack on systems within the city of Dallas.
We are no learning the breach has impacted more than 26,000 people who had their names, addresses, social security numbers and medical information hacked.
The extent of the breach was first reported locally after the city filed a report with the Texas Attorney General's office, and that report was made public and detailed the extend of the hack.
The ransomware attack happened in May and by mid-June the city said only some personel information was breached, but now we are learning it was way more than that.
The city says it hasn't been commentting on the attack because of the ongoing criminal investigation, but city leaders are being pressed to release more information.
The Dallas city manager's office now says they will have an update on September 6th.
