Play Ransomware Attack On City Of Oakland Stalls Weekly Crime Reports Says Karen Ivy. The Rockridge NCPC Secretary Karen Ivy sent an email reporting the latest casualty of the Play Ransomware Hack: Crime Data. Here’s her text: I’ve been compiling and producing crime statistics from the city of Oakland’s data feed for over 10 years. But the revised January 2023 report I just published may be the last, unless Oakland’s IT department passes a miracle. You may have read of the ransomware attack on Oakland’s data systems on February 8. When I pulled the 90-day list of reported crimes in Oakland from the city data feed on March 3, there was nothing in it after February 7, for any beat anywhere in the city. And I don’t know when there will ever be more in it.
The sad thing is that the January revision indicated that the data delays we’ve seen since mid-2021 seem to be improving – between the 2 beats, 12Y and 13X, the revised report only had 9 crime reports that weren’t in the original January report pulled on February 5, and the general pattern was very similar to what we’ve seen – a few crimes against the person, but mostly property crimes, the vast majority auto-related.
I tried to produce a report for February 2023 but there was nothing to work with. There were no reports for beat 13X at all, and only 16 reports for beat 12Y, with nothing after February 6. The general pattern of the 16 reports matched usual activity, as I said about the revised January report. But as far as I can tell now, the data is Gone. I will keep trying, but I have very little hope.

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Now Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
