The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office has been hit by a ransomware attack from international cybercrime group Qilin, who breached systems three weeks ago and are demanding payment. The hackers obtained 842 gigabytes of data including contracts, inmate documents, and expense records, though no sensitive information appears compromised. The attack has disrupted the DocketMaster system that handles inmate transfers and releases, forcing families like one woman whose husband remains jailed despite paying bond to wait longer. "I have two sons, four and six years old. They miss their dad," she told local news. Officials are using manual workarounds and refuse to pay the ransom. The malware reportedly came through email from another law enforcement agency. **Source:** [CBS News](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cybercriminals-demanding-ransom-to-free-up-parts-of-new-orleans-area-sheriffs-office-computer-systems/)
