“• “All computer systems are down until further notice…They’ve been shut down since Saturday by what investigators believe is a foreign entity demanding a ransom.” • “Currently they’re asking a ransom of $199k worth of bitcoin,” said Deputy Chief William Wolfburg. “We are still responding full force, if you call we will be there.” • “Data such as what’s captured on police bodycams can’t upload, and officers on patrol can’t access critical data via the network.” • ““We’re going to try and upgrade our servers to stop the stuff in the future,” said First Selectman Kevin Cunningham (R – Plainfield). Once the system is restored, all town employees will go through a series of training to prevent this from happening again.” “
