The city said its review found “no exfiltration of internal data, nor residents’ data.” TechCrunch initially contacted the city on March 20 for comment after identifying it as an organization that used the GoAnywhere file transfer software at the time of the ransomware attack.
“The City is actively investigating the details of the identified files,” said city spokesperson Alex Burke. The access is limited to files that were unable to be processed through the third party secure file transfer system.” The City of Toronto told TechCrunch in a revised statement on March 23: “Today, the City of Toronto has confirmed that unauthorized access to City data did occur through a third party vendor. The number of victims affected by a mass-ransomware attack, caused by a bug in a popular data transfer tool used by businesses around the world, continues to grow as another organization tells TechCrunch that it was also hacked.
