San Francisco’s Muni has vowed to not give the attacker a single bitcoin of his 100 bitcoin ransom demand. “We have a IT team that can fully recover our systems, and they are doing that,” Muni spokesman says. The agency says no customer or transaction information was compromised in the attacks, although payment kiosks were disrupted. Ransomware infection unfolded over the Thanksgiving weekend, as Muni systems suffered a HDDCryptor malware infection. Based on Muni’s operating budget, it stood to lose more than $500,000 for every day that it couldn’t collect fares.”]
