Queens Public Library says ransomware attack disrupted Wi-Fi and on-site computers
Queens Public Library confirmed in multiple Wednesday alerts that a ransomware attack caused disruption to Wi-Fi and on-site computers across its system. The library runs 66 branches serving the borough's 2.3 million residents. The article does not give further technical detail or the scope of data affected.
Queens Public Library hit by ransomware, website and Wi-Fi offline
Queens Public Library confirmed a ransomware attack that has disabled its website, on-site computers, self-service checkout and return machines, public Wi-Fi, mobile app and digital media services, and renewals are unavailable. Branches remain open, but the library says restoration will take time and some programmes may be affected. No established ransomware group has claimed the attack, and the article contrasts this with the British Library's 2023 Rhysida attack, which it refused to pay and recovered from over a lengthy period, with full recovery expected by the end of 2026.
