They are going to paint themselves the victims here but IMO this should be viewed like any other major corporate data breach; which is a failure of their own security. If citizen data was stolen they should be held liable especially if it was unencrypted.
I'm not sure why Ransomware is even mentioned in the article besides to drum up additional sympathy and make it seem more menacing. It's not been a 'thing' since like 2018 for any serious organization who takes basic security precautions w\ endpoint software and backups.
