77% Informative
Hackers scrambled Redcar and Cleveland Council's IT systems in February 2020 .
Cyber-attack caused chaos, disrupting everything from bin collections to social services.
Council leader Mary Lanigan : "The destruction of our systems was total" The BBC has been investigating how the attack unfolded and what it took to get things back to normal.
It took several years before evidence emerged who was behind the cyber-attack.
Redcar and Cleveland was only back to 90% of the system fully restored by May 2020 .
The authority was not insured for the attack, so the difference had to be taken from its limited reserves.
