About this audiobook
For three years, a city IT director warned that Marshfield's outdated dispatch software was one attack away from disaster. The budget never came. Then a single phishing email brought the whole system down — and when a resident's husband went into cardiac arrest two nights into the outage, the ambulance arrived eleven minutes late.
Marshfield: The Night 911 Went Dark traces a ransomware attack from its quiet six-day infiltration through the FBI cyber investigation that followed a cryptocurrency trail across the globe — only to find the people who actually caused it standing just beyond the reach of American law. A story about a warning nobody funded in time, and what happens when the emergency system itself becomes the emergency.
