REDCAR and Cleveland Council says it is being given £3.68m in Government financial support following a ransomware attack by hackers last year which crippled its computer network. But the cash is well short of the £10.4m the local authority previously said the incident in February 2020 cost with one senior Labour figure describing it as a “joke”. Council chiefs said the money was being offered in the form of a grant – not the facility to borrow more – due to the unique circumstances involved, which remain subject to a criminal investigation. The council stressed its IT system had been “approved by Government” before the incident and had now been further improved with new firewalls and other security measures more advanced than those in place at other councils.
