LockBit ransomware allegedly encrypted portions of the City of Wichita's network on May 5, 2024, prompting city IT staff to shut down online payment systems and other services to contain the attack. The group listed Wichita on its extortion portal and threatened to publish stolen files by May 15, 2024; multiple public services remain disrupted while the city investigates potential data theft.
