Ransomware Attack Disrupts Dallas City Operations and Police Dispatch System.

The city of Dallas has been hit by a ransomware attack, impacting several functional areas, including the police department and municipal court system. While less than 200 devices were affected, the police department's computer-assisted dispatch system was down, and the department had to revert to its backup system, radio, to dispatch officers in response to 911 calls. The city's library site and online payment processing for Dallas Water Utilities were also affected. The FBI Task Force is investigating the attack, and experts warn that at least 29 US local governments have been impacted by ransomware this year.
