The City of Durham, North Carolina has shut down its network after suffering a cyberattack by the Ryuk Ransomware this weekend. Local media reports that the city fell victim to a phishing attack that ultimately led to the deployment of the virus. To prevent the attack from spreading throughout their network, the city has temporarily disabled all access into the DCI Network for the Durham Police Department, the Durham Sheriff s Office and their communications center. This has caused the city’s 911 call center to shut down and the Durham Fire Department to lose phone service.
