Image caption<\/span> More than one town in Florida has been bit by ransomware lately <\/span> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A town in Florida has paid $500,000 (\u00a3394,000) to hackers after a ransomware attack. <\/p>\n

The total paid by Florida municipalities over ransomware in the last two weeks now stands at $1.1m.<\/p>\n

Officials in Lake City voted to pay hackers in Bitcoin after suffering downed computer systems for two weeks.<\/p>\n

Coastal suburb Riviera Beach recently paid hackers $600,000<\/a> following a similar incident that locked municipal staff out of important files.<\/p>\n

According to reports, IT staff in Lake City disconnected staff computers within minutes of the attack starting, but it was too late. <\/p>\n

Workers were locked out of email accounts and members of the public were left unable to make municipal payments online.<\/p>\n

The town’s insurer was contacted by the hackers and negotiated ransom payment of 42 bitcoins, or roughly $500,000. Officials felt that paying the ransom was the most efficient way of regaining computer access.<\/p>\n

“I would have never dreamed this could have happened, especially in a small town like this,” mayor Stephen Witt told local media.<\/p>\n

Insurance would cover the vast majority of the ransom payment, he added, although $10,000 would be incurred by taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Switch to paper<\/h2>\n

Just last week, it was reported that another Florida municipality had paid $600,000 in Bitcoin to hackers following a similar ransomware attack.<\/p>\n

The computer infection in Riviera Beach, a suburb of Palm Beach, affected email as well as emergency response systems and forced staff to switch to using paper for some tasks.<\/p>\n

Ransomware attacks have become an increasingly common tool for cyber-criminals. Municipal staff in one Alaskan community reverted to using typewriters<\/a> after their computers were hit by ransomware last year.<\/p>\n

Attacks have also affected the US cities of Baltimore and Atlanta as well as towns in California, North Carolina and Ohio, among other places.<\/p>\n

In 2016, three US hospitals were hit by ransomware infections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Ransomware is the canary in the coal mine,” said cyber-security expert Kevin Beaumont, who argued that the spate of attacks showed organisations needed to get better at basic IT security. <\/p>\n

“Organisations are financing their attackers to be better than them – and sooner or later that situation may snowball for everybody else trying to defend their networks.”<\/p>\n

He advised having robust back-ups and disaster recovery protocols to avoid being crippled by ransomware, should it strike.<\/p>\n

Cyber-security experts have consistently advised not paying ransoms as there is no guarantee files or computer systems will be restored.<\/p>\n

But recovering from a ransomware infection without paying up is also expensive. <\/p>\n

The large aluminium manufacturer Norsk Hydro recently became a victim of ransomware and decided not to pay the hackers.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the cost of recovering from the attack has so far totalled \u00a345m.<\/a><\/p>\n
