Public Sector Under Attack

15 Pages

This eBook examines ten major incidents of data loss, identity compromise, and ransomware in state and local governments. Cases include New York City’s accidental data leak, Eagle Mountain City’s $1M BEC scam, and Oakland’s ransomware-driven 660GB data theft. It illustrates how limited budgets, outdated systems, and large volumes of citizen data make public entities prime targets. The report stresses that even accidental missteps can have severe consequences. Agencies are urged to adopt modern controls, continuous monitoring, and user education to reduce vulnerabilities.
