Baltimore city gov’t network hit by ransomware attack

Looks like the City of Baltimore just got scammed by some Indian outsourcers.

Cheaper, faster, better is what you wanted, and now you got it.

This is what you get when you let armies from criminal nations such as India into your systems.

The FBI, city gov’t, etc. are in total denial of reality – even after the ransomeware notes sent to them proved the hacks were from a foreign source.

Let’s all keep the one world happy family globalization delusions going even longer, shall we?

“The note warned the city against calling the FBI, saying that would prompt the attackers to cut off contact. It also said that attempts to use anti-virus software would damage the city’s files. The ransomware’s procedures are automated, the note said, “so don’t ask for more times or somethings like that.”

“We won’t talk more, all we know is MONEY!” the note said. “Hurry up! Tik Tak, Tik Tak, Tik Tak!”

…

Oh and on top of all that? The City of Baltimore is spying on all its citizens and violating their 4th Amendment rights.
