As is all too common the city of Columbus took the citizen researcher to court and successfully won a restraining order against him and his clearly 1A protected speech.

The dumbass city mayor and prosecutors stupidly claim this leak is controlled and prosecuting the messenger is key.

But how did NOT informing the public and trying to coverup the leak and suing this guy for talking to the media protect anyone?

The city of Columbus Ohio got hacked by a ransomware gang, they didn't pay the ransom so the gang released half of the stolen data which included secret police and prosecutor files. The leak exposed countless victims, witness and confidential informants personal info and communications with the city.

The city claimed NO info was leaked. A cyber security enthusiast went to the media and proved otherwise.
