US cities, municipalities hit by separate cyberattacks

Investigation into the incident, which may have been caused by a successful phishing attack, is still underway, reported officials, who noted that the recovery of impacted law enforcement systems is being prioritized. Such a disclosure comes amid Georgia’s City of Forest Park’s ongoing efforts to recover from a ransomware attack earlier this week, which the Monti ransomware operation took responsibility for, as well as Washington City of Newcastle’s successful restoration of systems from a separate intrusion earlier this month, which the RansomHub ransomware operation noted to have resulted in the theft of 500 GB of data.
