North Miami Cyberattack Shuts Down City Hall: Mayor’s ‘Personal’ Information Compromised

Mayor Told By City Hackers Have “Explicit” Photos of Him, Mayor Denies Ever Taking A Nude Photo.

Fort Lauderdale, FL – In a salacious turn of events, a cyberattack has crippled the City of North Miami, leading to the temporary shutdown of City Hall and significant disruptions to municipal services. The attack, which was detected on August 4, 2024, has left residents and officials grappling with the aftermath as they work to restore normalcy.

Mayor Alix Desulme revealed that his personal Gmail account was compromised in the attack, leading to the unauthorized access of sensitive personal information, including his passport details, bank statements, and credit card information. Disturbingly, the hackers also claimed to have obtained explicit photos of the mayor, though Desulme has vehemently denied ever taking such photos. “That’s something that I have never done, take nude pictures of me,” he stated.

The cyberattack has had far-reaching consequences for the city’s operations. While some systems have been restored, the utility payment system remains offline, forcing residents to pay their bills in person using cash or money orders. Additionally, the police department’s in-car communication systems are still down, requiring officers to rely on radio communication to perform their duties.
