Ransomware sends Ohio county emergency services back to pen and paper

“Officials told StateScoop that fire and emergency services, including 911, are still operational, but that the cyberattack disrupted operations at several public safety departments connected to the Wood County Sheriff’s Office computer aided dispatch system, including emergency dispatchers, jails and the Bowling Green Police Division.“

“In Wood County, which has a population of approximately 130,000 people, emergency dispatchers can take incoming phone calls and communicate with first responders, but are using pen and paper to record calls because they cannot access the county’s records management system, Jeff Klein, director of the Wood County Emergency Management Agency, told StateScoop in a call Tuesday. “
