Yes, you read it correctly, at least 70% of the District of Columbia's Police surviellance cameras were infected with ransomware immediately prior to the 2017 Inauguration of the President and Vice President of the United States.

The singularly astonishing aspect of this debacle was the Department still managed to keep the streets of Washington, D.C. safe for the throngs of visitors at the 2017 Inauguration. Quite simply, testimony to the hard work of the Department's Officers and Staff.
