[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

The hack was detected at the NYC Law Department on Monday morning

City officials disabled the computer network to try to contain its data

Sources say ransomware was detected that is commonly used by foreign governments and criminal hackers

They didn't say what the ransomware is

It's unclear if the hackers asked for a ransom like the Colonial Pipeline hackers

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Tuesday he doesn't think data was compromised but information is 'emerging'

Question:
Why didn't we see these type of Hacks during the TRUMP administration?

Or is this, in this case a way to taint or claimed tainted any criminal evidence collected in a few of the high profile Politically motivated cases NY has brewing?

Either way it helps promote the Harris/Biden Admin goal of a federally controlled, monitored and secured Internet.
