Even a public library can be a ransomware target. Queens Public Library confirmed an attack Wednesday evening that took its website, public Wi-Fi, checkout machines, mobile app, and digital media offline across all 66 locations. Branches remain open, but the library says restoring systems will take time. No group has claimed responsibility yet.

For your business, the question is simple: if ransomware took your core systems offline tomorrow, could you still serve customers—or would you be out of action until someone else restored them? That’s the business continuity gap to close before an attack forces the issue.

NOTE: the restoration timeline and attacker identity remain unknown. If the library provides an update on either, I will revise this post.
