Bethlehem, Pa., Hosts Forum on Spotting Cyberattacks
Government Technology: Joe Montesano learned that, these days, reality often bytes.
An innocuous email received three years ago by an employee at Montesano’s company turned into a ransomware attack.
“For three days, I didn’t have access [to computer systems],” said Montesano, operations manager at Hanover Township, Lehigh County, Pa., packaging company Lindenmeyr Munroe. He said the ransom wasn’t huge, a little less than $220.
