La Porte County, Indiana, pays $130,000 to recover data on computer systems impacted by ransomware. The attack occurred on Saturday, July 6 and was spotted before it propagated to all the computer on the network. The decision to pay the cybercriminals came after seeing that the decryption keys from the FBI could not restore the encrypted files. Attackers collected over $1 million (107 Bitcoins) in June from just two municipalities in Florida, Lake City and Riviera Beach.
