Torres was letting city officials know that she had been “contacted by the FBI and Homeland Security and told that a threat was posted on a social media site from a known cyber terror organization with specific intent to disrupt Miami Police Department/City web services.”
Torres went on to say that Miami police have been dealing with several attempts to access their servers.
A city spokesman said that at this point, there does not seem to be a breach.
