BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The ransomware attack continues to plague Baltimore as the ransom deadline loomed Friday.

Mayor Jack Young said the city is working to resume services and cooperating with the FBI on their investigation.

Young told WJZ’s Mike Hellgren, the city is looking for some workarounds.

“We are looking at some workarounds to help the real estate industry,” Young said. “We have teams of lawyers and teams of experts who are familiar with this kind of thing that we’re facing in Baltimore and we’re hoping that we can have a fix for the real estate transactions but we have to make sure that it’s ok with the titling companies before we can move forward.”

It involves in-person visits to the Wolman building next to City Hall to process liens starting Monday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Right now, Baltimore’s email systems are still down, online payments remain down for water bills and traffic citations — but no late fees will be assessed. Although telephones work, voicemail does not. You can get permits in person or by phone. However, critical life and safety systems are operational.

The ransom deadline was Friday and the hackers threatened to erase data, but Young said he hasn’t heard of anything being erased.

“I hope that they understand the harm they are doing to people — and seniors. For the people are trying to make transactions, our seniors are trying to downsize. Some of them are moving to other homes or nursing facilities and want to transfer properties,” Young added. “They need to think about the effect they are having on people in general. If they had any heart at all they shouldn’t be doing this kind of stuff.”

Mayor Young told Hellgren he is open to paying a ransom after days of saying the city would not do so.

“In order to move the city forward, I might have to think about it. I have not made a decision yet,” Mayor Young said.

The ransom started as 13 bitcoins or roughly $106,000 and has risen by $10,000 a day since the fourth day of the attack.

The FBI is assisting in the criminal investigation into the cyber attack.
