Los Angeles City Attorney's Office

The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office lost 7.7 terabytes across 337,000 files, unredacted LAPD personnel records, Internal Affairs findings, witness names, health data, and criminal complaints, all pulled from a third-party discovery platform, not city or LAPD networks. WorldLeaks, an extortion group, claims responsibility, but the notice never says how it got in. Calling LAPD's systems untouched is beside the point: the vendor holding every unredacted case file was the real treasure trove, and nobody guarded it as one. The filing does not mention the massive scale or societal implications of this breach.
