Antisemitic and offensive comments from hackers shocked Passaic Mayor Hector Lora and city council members at a meeting.

During the Oct. 24 Passaic City Council meeting, hackers joined the meeting. Just as Lora discussed efforts to combat crime in the city, hackers spewed antisemitic and racial slurs.

"The images and the lies they were trying to spread were intended to be divisive and to try and tear our community apart, but I think it had the opposite effect," Lora said.
