The City of San Diego could make the unorthodox move of refusing to reveal a directory of its 11,000-plus employees.
A new memo from City Attorney Mara Elliott's office says officials fear doing so could increase the risk of cyber attack.

"You have indicated that releasing all City employee email addresses at once could create a potential threat to the City's cybersecurity because it would make it substantially easier for bad actors to launch phishing attacks against the City, which could interrupt critical City operations," says the Sept. 20 memo.

The City Attorney's memo existing case law suggests there are circumstances where not disclosing the list of workers outweighs the public interest in disclosing them, but leaves it up to the city on a final determination.
