Not yet quantified
AAttestedNorcross, Georgia, was hit by ransomware on August 1, with no vector named, no actor named, and no accounting of what data, if any, left the network. City officials notified police and cybersecurity professionals and kept most services running while restoration continued. Calling in digital fixers after the fact is incident response, not architecture. The filing never says what allowed the encryption in. An organization that cannot name the crack in its defenses has not yet found the boundary that failed.
