Richmond Indiana Housing Agency Loses A Month Of Data In Ransomware Attack

Richmond’s housing agency was hit by ransomware demanding an $8,000 ransom. They are not paying, but had to bite the bullet and understand that they have lost a month worth of data. It is noted that, “some of the system’s parts of were outdated and no longer as secure as they were when first installed”. That reads to me like a lot of words that essentially say that the software is outdated and probably unpatched.
