Ransomware attack behind over week-long City of Hamilton service disruption

[@payt212]

Having the wrong people in power and having incompetent workers gets us to this point. We need a new city council

[@ykjo5613]

Pfft, why the shock? Govt security is SO LOW and the competency of a lot of their tech staff is pathetic. If you know what the hiring process works, you will understand why. Im sure there are plenty who know their stuff but often their abilities are quashed by useless management who have NO CLUE 🙄

[@calsavestheworld]

Hmm. I guess we can now call it Spamilton.

[@DrDooms13]

Is it me or watching this seems like a geriatric old age home convention. You wonder why our city sucks and lost, broken! Because we have people who have been running this city for 20 years. Old people, old minds, old solutions!!

"Did you try turning it off and on again?"

[@DineshDinesh-nh9wk]

Lol….😂

[@George-z4d]

Incompetence at its finest

[@ProudCanadian1959]

Andrea won't answer questions and points people to the City Manager while she stands in the background doing nothing. Our roads suck. Our parks are full of tents. They close magic mushroom stores but encourage intravenous drug use with safe injection sites. Let's see how she does with this debacle.

It's probably not a targeted attack, most likely just one user on the network with open shares and a bad IT framework caused this with a bad download.

[@ElainCorrine]

That and piss poor IT security training.

[@dualboy24]

​@Mr.BumTicklerWhere did you read that?

[@AmyRose-oo5zk]

Maybe they can hire an international company to look after IT 😂

[@monicapushkin3274]

The title of this video is very poorly and awkwardly written. Good work CHCH.

[@calsavestheworld]

Ransomware cripples city services. See? Simple.

[@CanucksForRussia]

Hamilton's municipal government seems grossly incompetent. 😂 No wonder there is a homeless encampment out front of city hall.. 😂

[@Ynalaw]

I concur. All the rampant drug use and lack of housing was caused by the Federal gov (mass immigration).

[@ProudCanadian1959]

All over Hamilton.

[@hollyrichardson144]

Clearly the services attacked are extremely sensitive and has to do with information they Didn’t want to get out...karma is here. Judgement Day. 🔥☝️

[@CannonFodder873]

Nothing will happen when they're STILL using the "ultra-secure" Windows95........RIGHT ?🤣

[@CanadaHasFallen]

IT and Tech departments are often not only under funded, under staffed, under appreciated, under paid, but also suffer from diversity pressure. You see a lot of diversity hires and friends and family take positions WELL before anyone competent.

[@trigremlin]

They should've called me.

[@aminebou]

They did not learn anything from last year Toronto ransomeware attack !

[@andkal1340]

So it’s a ransom, what are they asking for? They don’t know so how do they know it’s a ransom?

[@stevea2488]

Now i know why they were only taking cash at the city dump as of last friday.

[@DionLackner]

Why is that Cameron dude always wearing a mask?

[@valerieleidal]

Cash is king!

[@dougtheslug6435]

Ya I don't know, I thought I knew but I was wrong, so really it could be ok but on the other hand it's not right now so we're gonna just check and see if there's a problem or if it's just a simple little mistake that we haven't identified yet......you know in all reality your guess is as good as mine.

[@KarmaElectronics.]

$$$$$$$$$$$

[@tux1968]

Who in the Lord's name wrote the title of this video? Another DEI hire?

[@tacocanada1888]
