IT experts from Dallas, Bowling Green assist DCPL with ongoing ransomware attack

This report was filed by Katie Pickens late Monday night:

Daviess County Public Library is still experiencing the effects of a ransomware attack that first targeted the facility in April. The ransomware attack has limited access to some of DCPL’s computers at least twice in three months because the original issue was not fully resolved.

……. “We have had a technician from a company out of Bowling Green that has helped with a few things, and we consulted with a gentleman out of Dallas who is familiar with this kind of attack,” Waller said. “Our vendor, Polaris, and our IT staff — Brian Lashbrook, Wesley Johnson and our Collections Manager Alicia Harrington — have done the majority of the work.”
