City of Oakland

The Oakland ransomware attack on April 2023, which seriously disrupted city operations for weeks, was carried out by the LockBit ransomware gang.

At first, the Play ransomware gang claimed responsibility for the attack, but LockBit later added the city to its list of leak locations.
