I’m pretty sure this was just financially motivated on the part of the hackers, but it is obviously also a way to hobble the use of a library. I hope other libraries will take steps to harden their systems so they’re less vulnerable to hackers working for whatever agenda.

Oh no! This happened to the Toronto Public Library too (at the end of October). They were able to get ebook holds up pretty fast, but hard-copy holds took ages, and photocopying still isn’t back. There are so many systems that they must be pretty vulnerable.
