Royal Ransomware Gang Targets City of Dallas

The Royal ransomware gang has claimed the City of Dallas as a victim, disrupting critical services including 911 dispatch systems.

“There is no effect to 911 calls at this time, and they continue to be dispatched for service. The outage is not affecting police response,” DPD spokesperson Melinda Gutierrez told TechCrunch.

Multiple municipal websites are down, with the City of Dallas website displaying a message that “the City is experiencing a service outage and is working to restore services,” and the city confirmed that the municipal courts were closed as a result of the attack.
