Henry County, Georgia, was forced to pull out typewriters and switch to paper forms after its computer network was affected in a ransomware attack. This tireless manual process appeared to have extended for the next couple of weeks until the affected systems were restored. According to figures provided by the south metro Atlanta community and reported by Govtech, the county has spent around $650,000 in the last five months to recover completely from the attack. Due to the attack, the county had immediately shut down its entire system to protect taxpayer information."
