City of Atlanta made SamSam recovery a municipal-service accountability test
City of Atlanta is a risk and accountability case because the March 2018 SamSam ransomware incident showed how local-government technology debt can turn into public-service delay, emergency procurement, resident burden, and taxpayer cost.
