Columbus whistleblower lawsuit violates First Amendment, digital rights group says

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A digital advocacy group has backed the cybersecurity expert who helped shine a light on the massive Columbus cyberattack, accusing city officials of violating his rights.

After suing Connor Goodwolf for showing reporters what was publicly available in a dark web leak by the Rhysida ransomware group, City Attorney Zach Klein said over and over at a news conference that this is not about free speech, but rather about stopping him from accessing the stolen data.
