Ransomware Attack Cripples Dallas City Services

Dallas experienced a widespread ransomware attack that disrupted city operations and services on Wednesday.
The attack took down the Dallas Police Department and City Hall websites and affected 911 dispatch systems and a computer-assisted dispatch system for firefighters.
The city closed courts and canceled all jury trials for the day due to the attack.
The Royal ransomware gang claimed responsibility for the attack and threatened to publish stolen data if their demands are not met.
City officials are working to contain and remove the ransomware from infected servers in order to restore impacted services.
