Columbus , Ohio , was the victim of a cyberattack over the summer that is part of a new wave of ransomware launched by a group known as Rhysida .
An IT researcher who tracks dark web and cybercrime accessed three terabytes of hacked data that took over 8 hours to download.
He was sued by his hometown in a legal move the city says is required to protect sensitive information.
Experts say the move could have a chilling effect on hacking disclosures and transparency.
Columbus is offering two years of free credit monitoring for residents affected by the breach.
The city is still suing researcher Goodwolf for damages in a civil suit that could reach $ 25,000 or higher.
Cybersecurity expert: "He wasn't Edward Snowden " City attorney: "This is about downloading and disclosure of stolen criminal investigatory records".
