The city paid $10,000. Insurance pay the rest.

We call this place "Lake Shitty."

Huge crystal meth usage.

Redneck city.

It's crazy they paid the ransom.

Baltimore is dealing with the same thing, but they've stated they're never going to pay. The tools the hackers used were stolen from the NSA.
