The City of Fort Worth says it was targeted by a group of hackers because of the state's stance on gender-affirming care.
City officials say the hackers stole information from a website used to track city work orders, but no sensitive information has been released.
On Friday, June 23 the City's Information Technology Solutions Department was told about a post that said the City's website had been hacked.
Staff found that data posted online came from an internal information system used to track work orders, not the City's public website.
"The City of Fort Worth has confirmed that the posted information did originate from our computer systems, however the data came from a website that our workers use to manage their maintenance activities. Not from the city's public facing internet website," said Kevin Gunn, Fort Worth's IT Solutions Director, during a news conference Saturday.
They believe the hackers stole credentials to log in to the website used by workers.
The City says the hackers downloaded file attachments to work orders in the system.
"Those attachments include things like photographs, spreadsheets, invoices for work performed, PDF documents, emails between staff and other information related to work orders," Gunn explained.
Fort Worth's IT Department says any info that was taken would be information that they would be willing to make public in a Freedom of Information Act request.

Seems kind of strange the Left aka Democrats are always blathering about the violent white supremacists, violent MAGA Republicans and violent Pro Lifers yet it is always the groups they espouse, Antifa, Pro Abortionists and Greeniacs that always are the folks committing violence. Then again not so strange.
