A number of municipalities across the U.S. have been hit by a recent spate of malware and ransomware infections. The most high-profile municipal ransomware attack took place over a year ago in March 2018 when the city of Atlanta was crippled by SamSam.

Data stored in city systems is an attractive target for attackers, says Chris Kennedy, former government cybersecurity veteran and CISO of cybersecurity firm AttackIQ.”]
