Police in Cockrell Hill, a city within the city of Dallas, Texas, have admitted losing years’ worth of evidence after their server was infected with ransomware.

Lost evidence includes all body camera video and Microsoft Office documents collected from 2009 to present day, as well as some in-car video, some in-house surveillance video and some photographs collated during that period. Data backed up on DVDs and CDs remained intact.

The department confirmed some of the data was relevant to ongoing investigations. And the computer virus is thought to be the work of Ukrainian hackers.
