No customer information was compromised, however, and the utility says regular water service is not going to be impacted.<\/p>\n<p>ONWASA said that the attack began on October 4 when Emotet was first spotted on the utility&#8217;s network. IT staff had thought to have contained the initial infection, only to see a second attack kick off in the wee hours of Saturday, October 13.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An ONWASA IT staff member was working was working at 3am and saw the attack,&#8221; ONWASA said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;IT staff took immediate action to protect system resources by disconecting ONWASA from the internet, but the crypto-virus spread quickly along the network encrypting databases and files.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2018\/09\/27\/shutterstock_sandiegoport.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"Statue in the Port of San Diego\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Stay decrypted, San Diego\">Sunny Cali goes ballistic, this ransomware is atrocious.

MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Rather than pay the malware&#8217;s ransom fee, the utility said it will be simply wiping and rebuilding the locked systems.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ransom monies would be used to fund criminal, and perhaps terrorist activities in other countries,&#8221; ONWASA reasoned. &#8220;Furthermore, there is no expectation that payment of a ransom would forestall repeat attacks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there is <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/03\/09\/less_than_half_of_ransomware_marks_get_their_files_back\/\">not even a guarantee<\/a> paying will stop the current attack and experts recommend companies opt to restore from backups rather than cave in to ransomware demands.<\/p>\n<p>The infection will, however, be an exhausting new task for the utility company operating in one of the areas hardest <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/09\/14\/hurricane_florence_data_centers\/\">hit by

clean up debris from the massive storm with costs expected to hit $125m.<\/p>\n<p>ONWASA estimates that, for the next several weeks as it rebuilds all of the damaged systems and conducts day-to-day operations by hand in person, customers will see slower service and will have to make their bill payments by phone rather than online. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p class=\"wptl btm\"><span>Sponsored:<\/span> <a
