Cajeme was hit by a ransomware attack in which sensitive municipal data was stolen, highlighting the severe privacy risks that local governments face when their digital assets are compromised. This incident underscores the critical vulnerability of public databases containing personal and financial records. The threat goes beyond service disruption, as criminals exploit the extracted information for fraud and double extortion. This demonstrates how opaque data handling in the public sector can inadvertently expose citizens to long-term security breaches and identity theft. The relevance to open data lies in the urgent need for robust security standards within public information ecosystems. Protecting citizen data is essential to maintaining trust, ensuring that digitization does not come at the expense of individual privacy and safety.
