declare these terrorist attacks, line up death penalty and GitMo as result. Make very public and give culprits 24 hours to cease or become public enemy number one. Make the threat serious enough, the follow through ominous enough, that they end real quick.

Why can’t the authorities just follow the money?

The time is well past when we need to demand that IT professionals have the training and competence to protect us.
Data breaches are treated as non events. No one is held accountable for exposing us to risk . Cities are shut down. Nothing happens.
If we are going to have a digital world we must demand only qualified people can build and operate digital systems.

Probably got Austin, Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Brenham, Midland/Odessa, Lubbock, Tyler, Nacogdoches, Lufkin, Victoria and Waco to name a few. Has to be a city with big pockets in order to get enough $$ for the risk. If they have to pay, they’re going to hit the taxpayers for the bill for their own incompetence with security.

It's called backup. And heeding this warning:

This case of ransomware, like most cases of ransomware, was most likely caused by some user receiving an email from an unknown source and the user clicking on a link within the email.
KNOW THE SENDER.

Needs to be a different model for how and when municipalities (and others) back u their data.
For instance multiple backup sites at different/longer intervals.
My Doc's office was devastated when they learned their backup was infected with the same ransomeware as their primary storage.
If their backups had been at longer intervals, with fewer overwrites, they could have been protected, especially with separate backup sites.
