https://techmonitor.ai/technology/cybersecurity/ransomware-redcar-and-cleeveland-council https://techmonitor.ai/technology/cybersecurity/ransomware-r... Council was hit with ransomware, they went back to pen and paper for everything. They lost track of who lives there and when moved out. They kept resending overdue bills to addresses threatening debt collects to people who moved out. The council said they will still collect council tax once they are operational and it's your responsibility to have money ready for such situation. Even now there are comments on /r/UKPersonalFinance people complaining on getting incorrect bills. Good luck!

Fortunately the city quickly said there would be no late fees for utilities, but they haven't said much since then - I suspect they thought it would be a much quicker turnaround than it has been. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2023/01/05/tomball-still-grappling-with-ransomware-attack-16-days-later-this-is-what-residents-need-to-know/ https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2023/01/05/tomball-...
