The City of Dallas says that more than 90% of the network has been restored, but the details of the remaining 10% is limited.

The city of Dallas said some personal information may have been leaked earlier this year during a ransomware attack.

The attack crippled city services back in May.

The city said hackers downloaded data from services between April 7 and May 4.

Names, addresses, social security numbers and healthcare information may have been taken.

The city did not say how many people may have been affected.
