Reporting by KCUR, WIRED, and DataBreaches.net describes a major hack of the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department whose internal records were exfiltrated in 2024 and later published by transparency collective Distributed Denial of Secrets. The leaked cache, reportedly more than one terabyte in size, includes a secret Veracity Disclosure or Giglio List that identifies officers whose documented misconduct could undermine their testimony, along with supporting case files and internal correspondence. Police officials confirmed that the department experienced a cyber incident reported to federal agencies but criticized publication of the names as relying on stolen, unverified data and potentially harming officers reputations.

Officials restored servers within days, but RansomHub later posted proof-of-theft police files, confirming data exfiltration. Magnitude, duration, and scope remain undetermined.
