KAKE reports:
The City of Wichita says it’s [sic] website was hacked over the weekend, compromising the personal information of 29,000 vendors and employees.
In a news release, city officials say hackers may have gained access to Social Security numbers, taxpayer identification numbers and banking information of vendors and employees who were reimbursed by the city for expenses.
The data compromised dates back to 1997. The city says the security issue has been fixed and they are in the process of notifying those who may be affected.

CyberWarNews reports that it was the vendors subdomain which was defaced and the source of the leaked data. Misleadingly, that web page now states:
Thank you for visiting this City of Wichita web site. The site
is unavailable for a scheduled maintenance outage.
We appreciate your patience.
CyberWarNews also provides a description of the leaked databases and reports:
The leak was announced a few hours ago by @AgentCorporatio who appears to be either a member or ex member of the well known Turkish Ajan hacker group but is going by the name Agent Hacker Group.
