A group of hackers said it attacked a Texas city government website due to the state’s recently-enacted law on transgender procedures and said it is planning more attacks.

The group, SiegedSec, took to Telegram on June 23 around 4:00 p.m. to post what it says are about roughly 500 thousand files leaked from the Texas Fort Worth government website—fortworthtexas.gov.
