Whenever I see large attacks like this, I always wonder exactly which ransomware is used by the attackers. It's interesting to see if it's an old tool or something new.
Same, also what types of systems did it affect? Windows, Linux, Public Cloud... private cloud? All you ever hear is "Ransomware"
Outlook, Windows, Active directory.
its usually white labeled generic kits at this point, the hackers dont know much about what theyre doing and rely on support from the creators

the hackers can focus on target selection

Missouri also has a governor that vowed criminal prosecution for a newspaper reporter who discovered “View Source” on a state website revealed teachers social security numbers [1]. This went on for months.

Even if a white hat had discovered flaws in Jackson County, they’d have to be insane to do anything with that information.
