Dallas ransomware data leaked to the dark web after a group called Play began releasing the five gigabytes stolen from Dallas County.
In October, Other Side Dallas reported Dallas County had its servers penetrated and data stolen in another Dallas ransomware attack.
The group Play initially said it would release data on November 3, but waited until November 7. It is not clear if this was meant to coincide with Election Day 2023.
