City of Port Lavaca

The Port Lavaca City Hall’s server was hit by Ryuk ransomware that apparently entered through the email system.

The attack incurred a bill amounting to nearly US$50,000 to the City.

The ransomware took down the local government’s server, and the city’s billing, and auto-pay systems, and disrupted other regular operations.

Staff collected cash, checks, and credit card payments at City Hall.

Hackers demanded a US$200,000 ransom to decrypt the data.
