Washington County Commissioners are expected to vote Thursday on a new policy that will determine how to respond to any future cyber attack. It comes after a ransomware attack crippled County government back in January. Russian hackers got into the county’s network and Commissioners then approved a payment of some $400,000 in February to allow the county to restore its computer system. At Tuesday’s agenda meeting, County Solicitor Gary Sweat asked Commissioner’s to consider a ‘Business Continuity and Disaster Contingency Plan’. No details were released. Commissioners meet Thursday morning at ten in the public meeting room at the Crossroads Building.
