Ransomware disables Koka City voice-broadcast loudspeakers
Briefing by News4U · First published
ITHome reported that on November 12 the Koka City voice-broadcast server in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, was hit by ransomware, disabling outdoor loudspeakers and household terminals. Koka City will switch to its official LINE account, television and radio to deliver information. The city has 229 outdoor loudspeakers that normally play time signals and, in emergencies, broadcast evacuation notices together with household terminals. All emergency alerts, administrative notices, time signals and obituary announcements are currently suspended. Koka City is investigating whether names and company names of registered terminal users were leaked and will announce findings once the probe and recovery timeline are clear. [1]
