Instructions: The articles examine the topic of ransomware, which many local governments around the country have faced in recent years. After reviewing these sources, as well as this week’s materials, please respond to the two discussion prompts below. Your answer should be approximately 500 words in length, and it should connect the material covered in this week’s reading to the ransomware readings, while also reflecting on your own sense of public service ethics and how they apply to this circumstance. Discussion Prompts: Imagine yourself for a moment as a new city or county administrator. What steps would you recommend taking in order to prepare for a threat such as the one faced by the City of Riviera Beach in the news article above? Do you agree with the argument made in the Washington Post editorial? Do you believe that the State of Florida, or perhaps even the United State Federal Government, should consider passing an anti-ransomware law? Or should it be up to local municipalities whether or not they want to pay the ransom in these situations? Please briefly explain the reasoning for your answer
