So the Sheriff dept doesn’t use computers between 4:30 and 8:00?

I’m sure the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s IT department will be right on it

They're probably still running on XP.

How could one determine that the sheriff's office is under cyber attack? The New Orleans' Sheriff's office has the shittiest, slowest website on the internet.

I wouldn’t doubt it, but you’d also be surprised how many OT/ICS (plant baw) environments run legacy systems. I’ve literally seen a DOS box in a large O&G production environment because they had no idea how to get rid of it.

Or the other way around (however incompetent (and yet believable) that may be)...

Cyberattacker to the Sheriff's Office at 4:30 a.m.: "Pay us or else."

Sheriff's Office 3.5 hours later: "Hey, I think we might have a problem here."

Hell, I'm more surprised they figured it out as early as 8:00 am than anything.

To be fair, they probably don’t use them between 8 and 430, either…

• Sheriff Hutson’s rating fell 14 points from last year (when it was 32%).
Her approval rating is now 5% among Whites and 27% among Blacks.


Mayor Cantrell’s job rating is now 27% approve/63% disapprove.

Her approval rating is 4 points lower than it was last year, when it was 31% approve/59% disapprove.

At least they reported the attack somewhat timely and didn’t wait months like the DMV.

I guess the inmates figured out how to steal the cache and jump through the open Windows.
