Ransomware is being eyed as the crypto-locking malware used against the city of New Orleans. The city has declared a state of emergency after its IT teams detected a ransomware infection spreading across city networks. New Orleans city officials say they immediately instructed all employees to turn off and disconnect their computers from the city network to try and limit the damage. Officials say the city expects to have to rebuild 4,000 PCs and 400 servers. The attack makes the Louisiana city one of a number of recent victims of crypto-locker malware extortion campaigns.”]
