This is wild. Researchers are simply pointing out how bad the security system is for the City of Columbus, OH.
> On Aug. 13, Mayor Andrew Ginther said the data stolen by hackers was either corrupted or encrypted, meaning it was likely useless. Hours later, Goodwolf told 10TV that wasn't true and he showed what kind of personal information he was able to access.
lol - the entire city leadership needs to be recalled. They get caught with their pants down (no security), lie to the public (“it’s encrypted bro!1! trust me I’m a politician!!), lies get rightfully called out, and their response is to pour gas on the fire with this silly lawsuit funded by the local tax payers.
- progmetaldev 2y agoI agree, and unless someone in a very large city can tell me otherwise, this seems to be how local government works. Everyone is living off the basis that they "did they best they knew how", and that seems to remove them from liability. I have seen lots of crazy things over the years, and I believe that erasing any kind of liability based on someone's account of how security works is at best willful ignorance. If we want local government to hold personal data, then we need local government to be responsible with that data. Saying, "I didn't know any better," is not acceptable in 2024 (and really hasn't been for at least a decade or more).
