“It's been over a week since Douglas County Libraries were the victim of an international cyber-attack and they're still in negotiations with that criminal group. “
“The entire system, from the online catalog to placing holds and even checking out books in person wasn't working. “
“When the library's IT team investigated, they found a calling card left by hackers. "There was a note left on the server to contact the bandits doing this," said Pasicznyuk. “
“It's not clear how the hackers got into the system. Pasicznyuk says the library recently had a cybersecurity audit and received an A+ rating. Luckily, the library has cybersecurity insurance, and they're working with a cybersecurity firm to recover from the hack. “
