RobbinHood Malware has crippled several of Baltimore’s information systems since mid-day Tuesday. The city’s 911 and 311 phone systems, along with public safety agencies, were not affected. The FBI is investigating the latest attack, and the FBI confirmed that it is a fairly new variant of the malware. In March 2018, Baltimore was hit by a similar attack that crippled the city’s IT infrastructure. Local governments are vulnerable to these types of attacks, because it’s difficult to keep up with changes the threat actors make to the malware they use, says Bill Siegel.”]
