New GandCrab ransomware variant hammers Florida school district

Computer system in Florida Keys school district was down for a week due to a GandCrab ransomware attack.

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?”]
