Maybe they first had to verify the backups actually existed like they should and were up-to-date enough

- everybodyknows 7y agoIndeed. I've worked at a big corp where it was belatedly discovered that backups were broken. A second reason would be to give the attackers reason to pause, in case they somehow had a second bomb to throw, while IT hardened defenses: >Since the attack, the city has installed additional security software and is developing new protocols.

- frankharv 7y agoMy thoughts exactly. I bet they did not have any backups for the Forth of July weekend so anyone doing city business that weekend may have to redo any paperwork or payments. Small price to pay to laugh at these clowns. What exactly are the FBI doing about this. Perhaps if they got off their asses and quit investigating Presidential piss parties they could find this email recipient. How hard is it for the FBI/NSA to trace an email. They just want to cry about going dark instead. If foreign put a CIA hit on the computer terrorist.
