Ukrainian-based hackers took Cockrell Hill Police Department’s server for ransom last month, resulting in the loss of video evidence. The police chief decided not to pay the ransom and instead had the server wiped. The virus had been introduced onto the network from a spam email that had come from a cloned email address imitating a department issued email address. The FBI Cybercrimes unit recommended that the police department isolate and wipe the virus from the servers. It is unknown at this time how many total digital copies of documents were lost, as it is also unknown how many videos or photographs that could have assisted newer cases will not be available.”]
