Cryptoprevent..
There are a lot more things you have to do to prevent ransomware attacks, and yes they can be prevented. There is no excuse in my book that every dagone one of these situations could have been prevented, although not easily, I'd be willing to say even one IT person could have done it for a city that small. The cost is more than affordable as well. Until they make it illegal to pay; this madness is just going to keep going on and on and on.
