Systems at a number of Baltimore’s city government departments were taken offline on May 7 by a ransomware attack. As of 9:00am today, email and other services remain offline. Police, fire, and emergency response systems have not been affected by the attack, but nearly every other department of the city government has been affected in some way.

Given some of the issues going on in Baltimore, would not be surprised if this is an inside job. TFA mentions the malware involved doesn't appear to have self spreading abilities and needs someone with admin access to get installed.
