RMK Consulting, LLC Addresses Texas Cities Ransomware Attack

San Marcos, TX, September 20, 2019 --(PR.com)-- On August 20, 2019, in a massive coordinated attack, hackers were able to compromise and encrypt 22 local municipalities computer networks in Texas by breaching an MSP the municipalities contracted for their IT services.
