Okemah Computers Hacked in Ransomware Attack
Return To ArticleWhen the computers at Okemah City Hall were fired up Monday morning, users were greeted with an ominous message: The system had been hacked and the data was being held for ransom.
The hackers initially set a ransom price of $2,500, but that number soon tripled. A countdown clock appeared on computer screens, giving the city a deadline of June 15 to pay up or the price would increase to $14,000.
