St. Cloud to notify more than 7 thousand residents impacted by ransomware data breach
Thousands of St. Cloud residents are getting letters in the mail telling them their personal information was compromised duringa 2024 ransomware attack. According to the city, the attack happened between March 17th and March 25th last year when an unauthorized actor tapped into city systems to access personal information. The city said after the attack, they hired a third-party company which quickly started to investigate. The company found names, addresses, medical information, taxpayer IDs, and social security numbers were compromised. In total, 7,797 people were impacted, according to a city spokesperson. After the investigation, the city said it, worked to send notices as quickly as possible to those impacted. Letters were mailed to affected residents last week. 'Their data is probably sitting on the dark web right now, and it's likely being sold in some way, shape, form, or fashion to other threat groups,' said John Anthony Smith, Founder of Fenix 24, a company that has helped hundreds of organizations recover after data breaches. According to Smith, St. Cloud is just the latest local city to become a target. 'Counties and cities are maintaining tax records. They're maintaining property records. They're maintain portions of these records that don't get disclosed publicly. And therefore, threat actors are commonly going to target these types of files,' said Smith. According to a statement published to the city's website, 'As a precautionary measure, the City encourages individuals to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft by reviewing account statements, credit reports, and explanations of benefits for unusual activity and to detect errors. Any suspicious activity should be promptly reported to your credit card company, bank, or other applicable institution.' Smith suggests a few extra measures, too. 'I would suggest to citizens that they get credit monitoring, they freeze their credit reports, and lastly you should probably change how you buy things You should be using credit cards not debit cards.' Smith said credit cards offer greater protection against fraud than debit cards, which is why he recommends the switch. He said anyone who receives a letter from the city should be extra skeptical of messages or emails from unknown accounts asking for personal information. The city is now offering one year of credit monitoring to anyone impacted by the breach and has created a dedicated toll-free number where people can get their questions answered. That toll-free assistance line that has been established at 1-(800) 939-4170, available Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (excluding major U.S. holidays).

14-year-old injured after fist fight turns into shooting in Miami-Dade: deputies
A 14-year-old boy was shot Saturday evening after a fist fight spiraled out of control near Miami International Airport, deputies say. Three days later, as the young boy recovers, a 17-year-old was caught and charged for the alleged shooting. Around 5 p.m. Saturday, Adrian Emmanuel Corrales, 17, and the 14-year-old planned a scuffle at a shopping plaza in the Fontainbleau neighborhood, 8000 block of Northwest Seventh Street, an arrest report details. The younger teen arrived in a car with three other males, whose ages were not revealed, while Corrales walked alone. Corrales' and the teen have a checkered history, the report describing it as '...[the pair] are known to each other as they have had personal issues in the past.' As the two approached each other, Corrales pulled out a gun and shot the unarmed 14-year-old two times — hitting him once in the chest and once in the left leg. Corrales ran off shortly after. The young teen was rushed to Jackson West Medical Center, before being transferred to Jackson Memorial's Ryder Trauma Center. He remains in critical but stable condition. Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office detectives tracked down Corrales in the ensuing days of the shooting by sifting through surveillance footage. On Tuesday morning, Detective Angel Alvarez arrested Corrales and took him to the Juvenile Assessment Center. It is unclear if Corrales remained at the center Tuesday night. He was charged with attempted second degree murder with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a minor.
