Ransomware attacks have been hitting multiple U.S. cities over the last few years. Officials with some of the cities hit with ransomware remember it as a long and expensive process that costed millions.
As Oakland is still dealing with a ransomware attack, officials with some of the other cities hit say it as a long and expensive process.. Many city services are shutdown, and some buildings are closed.
"We started to notice actions or access towards privileged accounts," said Kimberly LaGrue, information officer with the City of New Orleans. "We noticed something was not right and eventually we were without any city services and the city fell back on manual processes."New Orleans was hit with ransomware in late 2019. LaGrue says it took the city 10 days to some of their computers running again, and a full 20 days to get everything restored.
That ended up costing the city a lot of money. LaGrue says it ended up costing New Orleans over $5 million. She says, in today's tech world, a cyberattack can happen to anyone. A neighboring city to the east echoed those same words."We all came in a lot of our computers had signs on them that said do turn on until you consult with IT," said Kaycee LaGarde, information officer with the City of Pensacola.
