Local Authorities in Texas and Maryland Hit by Ransomware

The servers of Baltimore City Hall and Amarillo, Texas, were hit by ransomware attacks, with the former having shut down most servers while the latter already got some of its computing systems back online. City employees are working diligently to determine the source and extent of the infection. Potter County officials haven’t disclosed any other details regarding the specific strain of ransomware used during the attack, the way it was used to infect the city’s computing system, or the amount the attackers have demanded. This is the second time in less than a year that Baltimore was hit by a ransomware attack.
