At least 23 local governments were impacted by a wave of ransomware attacks that are targeting local governments. The Department of Information Resources (DIR) is leading the response to the attacks. Experts believe that it was a coordinated attack carried out by a single cyber crime gang. The number of victims could be greater than the actual number of affected entities. The State of Texas computer networks of the state have not been affected by the attacks, according to the DIR. Ransomware attacks are a big problem for US Government and City Offices, including Key Biscayne, Riviera Beach and Lake City.”]
