In recent months,
a local public school district had to close because of a ransomware
attack.
In the spring,
Bluefield University also fell victim that ensnared operations
there for weeks.
Two years ago, our
entire region was dealing with the effects of a cyber-attack
against the Colonial Pipeline.
As our online
networks get more sophisticated, so do the bad guys.
In this
episode of Hometown Stories, a member of FBI Richmond’s Cyber Squad
joins us for a discussion about our cyber vulnerabilities and ways
we can stay protected.
