Against advice of board attorney and feds, David Archie reveals how much Hinds County paid hackers after cyberattack
SUMMARY: Hinds County Supervisor David Archie disclosed that officials paid hackers more than $250,000 to $300,000 following a cyberattack that impacted county services for several weeks. The payment was made against the advice of the board’s attorney and federal investigators. During a public meeting, four supervisors approved over $400,000 to a company to repair the damage to the county’s computer systems. Archie criticized the lack of transparency regarding the payment and questioned the contract and specific usage of the funds. Board President Vern Gavin disagreed with Archie’s disclosures, citing the risk of future attacks and compromised negotiations. Archie also expressed concerns about the allocation of $6 million for various projects, alleging potential benefits for certain supervisors.
