The mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota's capital city, has confirmed that the Interlock ransomware gang is responsible for a cyberattack that disrupted many of the city's systems and services in July.

Over the next few days, about 3,500 city employees will be required to do an in-person password reset and device security check.
