"The breach involved 337,000 compromised files, which include millions of pages from civil lawsuits against the city, ranging from trip-and-fall cases to police excessive force incidents."
"Jurado revealed that an internal link used by the City Attorney's office to access the files was clicked over 5,000 times on the first day of the breach, which is believed to have occurred in March."
