HAUPPAUGE, NY — The hackers who breached Suffolk's web server in the Sept. 8 cyberattack demanded a $2.5 million ransom though County Executive Steve Bellone said at a news conference on Wednesday that he would not support it.
Since the attack, the county has been "laser-focused" on providing critical services in "the challenging environment" and a forensic examination to determine what happened, as well as mitigating "the damage to the maximum extent possible," Bellone said.
