Virginia’s Legislative Branch hit with a ransomware attack, state officials say. The attack has knocked the Division of Legislative Automated Systems, or DLAS, offline. DLAS handles technology and legislative information/publication. Ransomware attacks have impacted almost every level of government, an analyst says. The Virginia attack comes just weeks before the General Assembly begins its next session, and the state will inaugurate a new governor on Jan. 15, 2022. Experts say the latest high-profile cyberattack could have long-lasting effects.”]
