Computer system in Florida Keys school district was down for a week due to a GandCrab ransomware attack. A school district employee working on payroll discovered undisclosed problems on Sunday, Sept. 9, and submitted an IT ticket. The problems were made worse when Comcast suffered a day-long outage on Thursday. The district claimed there were no ransom demands, but since ransomware locks up a system and demands payment to retrieve a decryption key for encrypted files, perhaps the district didnt cave to extortion?”]
