Salisbury Police Flat Out LIED About Ransomware Attack
When you heard from WBOC and others that the Salisbury Police did in fact recover the information stolen, well, it wasn't true. Salisbury News learned that most of the information stolen had NOT been backed up. When the City claimed the system is running at 100%, I guess if you listen carefully to their words you might understand the SYSTEM may be up and running but by no means did they recover the critical information stolen. Keep in mind, confidential informants and information have been stolen along with arrest reports. We've heard the ransom was anywhere between $50,000.00 to $400,000.00. It never ceases to amaze me any more how your local media will simply publish what they are told and do no investigative work whatsoever. Keep in mind Ladies, they also refuse to tell you just how many RAPES there are in the City. This is a Police Department that cannot be trusted, period. Your Mayor should fire Chief Duncan in a vote of no confidence, unless he is playing a part of this huge lie? Perhaps they should remove the software that PREDICTS where the next crime will occur and invest all that money into better IT protection.
Being a certified systems engineer, I find IT companies around here laughable. Any idiot with a high school computer class under their belt gets hired. The fact that it came from a vendor means that someone at the city wasn't doing their job because I doubt this is the first hack on this vendors behalf. The "fine tuning" should have been done decades ago, seems they got a bit complacent in their jobs. The hospital also got hacked didn't they. Welcome to the land of stupid
Just like the exquifax hack, they washed their hands of it and then said it was our responsibility to protect ourselves after they leaked all our data.
I remember applying for a job with the city after the big Perdue IT layoffs...
I didn't get hired there and went to work in the DC area doing IT Security for NASA. Looks like the folks they hired could have been a little better - or better funded....

I do not trust anything that turd bugler bill Garrett says about what happened. I know he was full of it!

I can vouch for the fact that WBOC distorts the facts and reports only what will keep them in good standing with the mayor / city.
ReplyDeleteMore baseless allegations. Care to prove the things you say? Some of us don't blindly follow authority figures like you do.
ReplyDeleteWait so did I miss something - SPD was hacked and missing all their cases? Wow, hope criminals dont ask for appeals..
ReplyDeleteIsn't Duncan a she? Or did she change that?
ReplyDeleteBodies will be found in the river soon.
ReplyDeleteInformers names??? Solid gold.
Incompetent politicians?? Rusted iron.
