| One News Outlet is claiming there is a $1 Million Dollar Ransom Demand to release the City of Pensacola's data! |
From Bleeping Computer:
"The operators behind the Maze Ransomware have claimed responsibility for the cyberattack affecting the City of Pensacola, Florida, but state that they are not affiliated with the recent shooting at NAS Pensacola.
In an email conversation with BleepingComputer, the operators of the Maze Ransomware stated that they were responsible for encrypting the city's data and have demanded a $1,000,000 ransom for a decryptor."
If this turns out to be a legit story and factual, this will be in incredibly steep price to protect the City's data. Very bad turn of events.....

Some ransomware hackers have been brazen enough to make demands directly to the affected parties insurance company.
The April 30th rain should have also been a wake up on disaster responce and finding backup seeing that we were within an hour of rain taking out the Scada Systems that manage water and waste that could have put much of the counties water and sewer for a year or more.
