City of Columbus

Columbus snow plow crews are still working to remove the two to six inches of snow that fell in the city this week. Crews prioritized clearing the harder hit streets on the city's south side first.

Denise Bauer, former executive assistant to Columbus Mayor Andre Ginther, alleges in an unfiled lawsuit she was forced to work longer hours to help with Ginther's re-election campaign.

Mayor Andrew Ginther spoke to WOSU for the first time since the Columbus City Attorney's Office filed a temporary restraining order against the data hack whistleblower Connor Goodwolf.

The Experian credit monitoring will last for two years and cover up to $1 million.

A dark web user confirmed to multiple media outlets that drivers' licenses, addresses and social security numbers of private citizens were leaked by the ransomware attack.

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther says none of the data hacker group Rhysida published online contained usable data.

The two unnamed officers are criticizing the city for a lack of transparency. They say their banking and social security information were part of the ransomware attack.

Shawn Waldman, CEO of Secure Cyber in Dayton, said Columbus is doing a poor job of communicating with the public after a ransomware attack that appears to have compromised city employees' data.

The international cyber criminal group Rhysida has released about 45% of the data, an IT consultant said.

The City of Columbus says it thwarted a ransomware attack, but is still working with the FBI to investigate the incident.
