The City of Independence, Missouri, suffered a ransomware attack last week that continues to disrupt the city's services.
At the beginning of the month, Independence suffered a ransomware attack that forced them to shut down their IT system as they recovered from the attack.
"The City of Independence recently experienced an event that resulted in technical difficulties and disruption to multiple services. It appears that these disruptions are the result of a ransomware event that was discovered and stopped before it could infect the full City network," City of Independence City Manager Zach Walker disclosed in a statement.
