New York’s Queens Public Library is fighting a ransomware attack, The Register reports.
- Down: the website, on-site computers, checkout and return machines, public Wi-Fi, the mobile app and digital media
- All 66 branches are still open, and there are no late fines
- The library says restoring systems “will take some time”
- No gang has claimed it yet
My take
Libraries are a lifeline for people without home internet, and attackers know public institutions are stretched thin. Pray for the IT team working this one.
God Bless, and Use the Source!
