No ransom paid, but hacker attack costs Illinois AG office more than $2.5 million, says Kwame Raoul – Chicago Tribune*

The taxpayer money is being used to rebuild computer systems, notify individuals their personal information may be at risk and get the office fully back online following the April 10 attack. In the meantime, many of the basic functions of the office are being conducted by mail and telephone as online access remains shut down.

I’m sure all the over compensated asfcme heros working from home remotely, wailing awy the hours staring at god knows what web sites on state laptops when they are supposedly doing a bang-up job for us taxpayers could never ever never have anything to do with security breach/ ransomware attacks??

The attorney general didn’t work during the pandemic or answer phones. The web site didn’t work either. When I finally contacted one of the patronage workers at the disability section of the attorney general after countless emails, he told me he was unable to be reached by phone or email but he was on the payroll. When I contacted the inspector general of the ag these losers were cleared of any wrongdoing. Total fix to protect the minority patronage workers in raouls administration.
