Cockrell Hill Police Department of Texas State was cyber attacked last month which resulted in the lockdown of critical files on the security surveillance database. Instead of paying the ransom, the police chief decided to wipe of data resulting in loss of valuable video evidence. The digital evidence includes body cam videos, some photos, MS Office suite Documents- Word and Excel files, some car dash cam videos and some police related files accounting to almost 2TB of data. The police chief said that almost half of the data was required to prove some notorious criminals as guilty.”]
