    "Lawrenceville, Georgia police hit by Ransomware attack

    The Lawrenceville Police Department is working with city leaders and the FBI to investigate a ransomware attack that recently shut down the department's computer network.

    Lt. Jake Parker said the computers at the department were encrypted during the attack...

    'As soon as it occurred, the city began working to investigate the cause, to restore operations and determine the effects of the incident,' Parker said. 'The matter has been reported to the FBI and the city has brought in cybersecurity experts to assist us.'..."
