A ransomware attack took a New Mexico jail offline, leaving inmates in lockdown

[39.950]

Inmates confined to their cells as a result of the January 5th attack on Bernalillo County, New Mexico, jail. The Metropolitan Detention Center was completely suspended as the jail was put into lockdown. All internet services at the jail were also knocked offline, leaving staff unable to look up inmate records. The incident tracking database containing all reports of fighting, use of force, and allegations of sexual assault was not available and is believed to be corrupted by the attack. The lockdown put the jail in potential violation of the terms of a settlement in a lawsuit over conditions of confinement.
