Councilman Says Recovery From Ransomware Attack Could Take Up To Three Months

A Baltimore City councilman said Wednesday he's been told recovery from the ransomware attack on city government could take anywhere from three weeks to three months.

"It's been, I would say, frustrating--from the government side, it's been very frustrating," 4th district Councilman Bill Henry said. "I'm sure it's just as if not more frustrating from the side of constituents who are trying to reach us."

Hackers demanded 13 Bitcoin. At the start of the hack, that was equivalent to around $75,000. However, the same amount of Bitcoin ran more than $100,000 on Wednesday.

That city is worse than a third-world-shithole-country!
They can't get good people in there (that would have prevented this - or made recovery painless) due to the corruption, crime, and dumbocrat policies!

Forced diversity prevents hiring the best candidates and you end up with what the diversity provides!
