    Austin Slammed By Crippling Ransomware Attack

    A coordinated ransomware attack has affected at least 20 local government entities in Texas, the Texas Department of Information Resources said. It would not release information about which local governments have been affected.
    The Texas Division of Emergency Management is coordinating support from other state agencies through the Texas State Operations Center at DPS headquarters in Austin, according to KUT News.



    Press secretary for the department, Elliot Sprehe, said DIR was working to confirm which government entities are affected and which ones are still standing.
    "It looks like we found out earlier today, but we’re not currently releasing who’s impacted due to security concerns,” he said.
    KUT tried to contact the city of Austin for more details about the attack but the city refused to release any more information.
