Ransomware and cyberattacks continue to multiply and hit local governments in a scary, escalating pattern such that, now for the second time since 2018, a governor has formally declared a state of emergency because of it.
Back in February 2018, it was Colorado’s governor after the Colorado Department of Transportation had to shut down operations because of a SamSam ransomware attack. This time, Louisiana’s Gov. Jon Bel Edwards has made the declaration after multiple school districts in the state have been hit by a wave of cyberattacks.
