  1. From the Better-Late-Than-Never Department:

    "Washington County is preparing to implement a new policy on how to respond to future cybersecurity attacks after a ransomware strike crippled the county government for more than two weeks earlier this year.

    County solicitor Gary Sweat is asking the commissioners to consider approving a “business continuity and disaster contingency” plan that would have a protocol for county workers and its IT department to follow in the event of another cyber emergency."

    As a reminder, they paid $350k ransom to ransomware gang to get decryptor key.
