The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department has shut down systems such as email and internet following a recent cyberattack.San Bernardino County paid a $1.1 million ransom to hackers who infiltrated the Sheriff's Department computers, officials acknowledged Friday.
County officials told ABC News on Friday that the county carries insurance for such attacks and its share of the ransom came out to just over $511,000. The county became aware of the attack on April 7 and began taking steps to shut down systems, secure the network and develop workarounds for access to data.
