Florida municipalities are proving to be a juicy and lucrative target these days for hackers who’ve been launching cyber attacks on computer systems, government phones and the like before demanding big ransom payments as a condition for leaving the targeted government alone.
A trio of cities has been hit in recent days, with two of those cities known to have paid collectively more than $1 million to the hackers that hit them. The most recent: Lake City, where leaders at an emergency meeting a few days ago approved a ransom payment of 42 Bitcoin, equal to about $460,000.
