Ellensburg city data hacked, held for ransom By Yakima Herald-Republic
Share:
ELLENSBURG The city of Ellensburg has been “paralyzed” by hackers who are holding the city’s data hostage and threatening to delete city records unless a ransom is paid, city officials said.
All city departments are impacted by the attack, according to a statement from Ellensburg Police Department Capt. Dan Hansberry, and most of the city’s data and network drives are affected.
The city discovered the attack and realized it had been hit by ransomware Monday, according to the city statement. Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts the victim’s data and threatens to delete it unless a ransom is paid by a deadline.
