oh well. Mayors Bottoms and Kasim Reed, the anti-Christian Democrat who fired a Christian fire chief are to blame. They failed to secure the city’s records.

Appoint a special counsel to investigate them.

In the movies the computer geeks can backtrack to find the source; go in and break their pinkies.

“Cyberattackers: Hang ‘em high.”

I’d like to see CyberCells — prison cells with webcams and viewer activated features like air blasts, cold water spray, Slim Whitman at 89db, lights off, strobe lights, Hillary speeches on screen, whatever. 24/7/365.

Effing idiots. I’ve been in IT for 25 years and I’ve seen exactly 1 municipal IT Department that was competent.

If Jeff Sessions somehow knew how to solve this problem of cyberattackers disabling and then demanding ransom, I would take back (almost) every ugly thing I ever said about him.

The solution is quite simple, but Sessions wouldn't ever implement it.

Targeted assassinations.

I wonder if someone at Sharebuilder.com did something similar? Something is apparently very, very wrong.

It’s been down for a few days.

Not a peep, generic e-mail message, or a tweet last I checked.

If and when it comes up, I’ll pull what I have out and go somewhere else.

Mayor Bottoms—you can’t make up this stuff!

Backup data anyone?
