Oakland Police Officers Association says city is ‘stonewalling’ it regarding cyber breach information

Mar 28, 2023
(KRON) — The Oakland Police Officers Association said the city is “stonewalling” it regarding information on the cyber security breach Oakland experienced in February, which led to city employees’ personal data being compromised, according to a news released from OPOA. The association said it has tried to contact city officials about the matter several times but has not received a response.

“Oakland city leaders talk about accountability, yet there has been zero accountability and a deafening silence for the safety and financial security of the city’s valued employees.” OPOA president Barry Donelan said. “This city is truly broken when city employees learn more about the release of their confidential information from the media than their employer, whose incompetence and sloppy security allows these data breaches to occur.”
