State of Nevada computer network is down

[MeganC]

A few sources online are reporting this. I checked with a friend in Reno and she says her IT people think it is ransomware. That's all I know right now and the news reports aren't saying much more than what I just wrote.

And how will America seek vengeance and deliver justice to these IT miscreants?

America needs to start putting bounties on these hacker groups and have the CIA kidnap them to face justice in America, perferrably in Guantanamo Bay.

Ransomware is a form of warfare, terrorism, and extortion that needs to have consequences for these organized groups.

At this point it's a threat to our way of life, and any theft or extortion should be met with capital punishment.

Given that most of these attacks are foreign then a cruise missile into their location would do the trick.

Find the hackers, and deal out a little "Mossad-style" justice right on-the-spot.
It will set an example and establish a precedent...

Agreed. The hackers have ill-intent and can bring companies and countries to their knees. Unfortunately these are the times in which we live.
