I don't care the survey most of the money. You still using taxpayers⁵ money wrong. This year the inspector⁶ general here in chicago warned this city is unprepared for a cyber attack.

The big question, if Cities are hacked⁷ should they pay up or not. Last year Atlanta refused to pay about fifty thousand dollars in Bitcoin. Baltimore also didn't pay a ransom of about 76 thousand dollars. Even though the attack cost the city more than 18 million. The price of not paying too high for smaller towns such as Leeds Alabama where the mayor decided⁸ to pay an eight thousand dollar ransom.

今晚，里维埃拉海滩市是最新一个向黑掉该市计算机系统的黑客支付报酬的城市。支付约65个比特币的赎金。市议会进行一致投票同意向黑客支付60万美元的赎金来恢复记录。一些居民因没有足够好的备份系统而感到愤怒。我不在乎调查的大部分钱。你仍然错误的使用纳税人的钱。今年，芝加哥的监察长警告说，这座城市对网络攻击毫无准备。一个大问题是，如果城市被黑客攻击，他们应该支付赎金吗？去年，亚特兰大拒绝支付价值5万美元的比特币。巴尔的摩也没有支付大约7.6万美元的赎金。即使攻击使城市损失超过1800万美元。这是不为阿拉巴马州利兹市这样的小城镇支付过高赎金的代价。在利兹市，市长决定支付8000美元的赎金。我们很悲痛，有些人依赖我们来付账单。联邦当局正在调查这次最新的网络攻击，希望能阻止更多的城市被索要赎金。
