“-“Everything shut down,” she said in an interview. “You couldn’t open any document, you’re completely locked from all your files -"McKay learned later that day that the town had been a victim of the massive ransomware attack that breached a popular software made by the information technology company Kaseya. The attack reached Leonardtown through its IT management company, JustTech, which uses the affected Kaseya product, -"JustTech wrote that neither its “servers nor your network were directly hacked or breached. The intrusion came through the remote monitoring and security software we utilize from an industry leading provider.”" -"McKay said JustTech informed Leonardtown that the ransom demand was $45,000 per computer but that the town’s leaders never seriously considered paying. Instead, they are undertaking the painstaking work of restoring computer system backups."“
