Officials tell The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/2jB7Npc ) that the hackers managed to plant ransomware in 70 percent of the recorders for surveillance cameras used in public spaces throughout the city. Officials say the cameras couldn’t record from Jan. 12 to Jan. 15. Officials say 123 out of 187 video recorders were affected. She says the incident was limited to the closed-circuit TV system and didn’t affect other D.C. government networks.
