Ransomware Attack Report

Ransomware attack report leaves concern after 30000 users had personal details leaked. The city remains tightlipped about the loss.

City officials postponted the official After-Action Review of Chief Information Officer Bill Zielinski.

Candy’s Dirt was able to get a copy of the presentation for the September 6 city council meeting.

The ransomware hack of resources disrupted city operations across the city. Problems occurred for building permits, libraries, and even emergency response operations.

Municipal courts and 311 have also been affected.

Zielinski told Candy’s Dirty they are budgeting eight figures in the FY2024 budget.

This comes after issues with back up of city data causing terabytes of data loss. The data loss caused case load issues where the police could not prosecute cases.

Ransomware Attack Report

The city says this is an ongoing criminal investigation, but will not comment if they paid the ransom.

Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD) was also targeted in November 2022. They paid roughly $170000 in ransom. Some say this encourages the attackers.

Sexual Assault By Jones

Sexual assault by Jones moves forward per the Texas Supreme Court in news from late last week meaning Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can be sued.

The petition was filed on in September 2020 against both Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. Legal wrangling and appeals brought the matter to the Texas Supreme Court in May who issued a Friday ruling.

The suit is being brought by an anonymous woman using the pseudonym Jane Doe.

The suit alleges that Jones kissed her on the mouth and forcibly grabbed her without consent on September 16, 2018.

It also states the Cowboys organization knew, or should have been aware, of his misconduct.

Sexual Assault By Jones

In 2022, the Cowboys settled a case against Rich Dalrymple over similar allegations raising the question of culture at the Cowboys facilities.

Additionally, Jones has a second lawsuit in progress over his defamation of Alexandra Davis. She claims Jones is her illegitimate father.

In a March 2022 lawsuit it is alleged Jones and his representatives embarked on a public campaign attacking her character. Her suit states they made statements “based knowingly on false statements and accusations.”

Jones was briefly hospitalized after a car accident in 2022.
