UK council ‘thwarts ransomware attack’

Lincolnshire County Council has successfully thwarted attempts by cybercriminals to extort money out them and brought most of its systems back online, almost one week on from the ransomware attack.
The council revealed on Twitter that no data was stolen during the incident, which had affected a number of services delivered by the council. For example, as the BBC reported, social workers were unable to access to case notes during the outage.
