What a weird non story.

> NBC5 did reach out to a Burton spokesperson for comment on the situation, but has yet to hear back for this story.

The article is 99% general “cyber attack” information with nothing repertory the title. Moneys on ransomware, being 2023 and all.

Supposedly Hancock VT is 20 miles from Middlebury which has a train station. It’s a teeny town but fun area with a wicked neat air bnb I stayed in a few years ago.

> She declined to comment to VT Digger. She has been free with the media before and after the election, but on this issue, she’s avoiding the media.

Yeah, because again, this issue is an active legal investigation. It's a totally different scenario. If she's cooperating with feds, depending on what's happening, she might not even be allowed to comment on it yet, who knows.

>Maybe that’s a good strategy.

"Maybe"? Again, this is probably like Law 101-level strategy. If you ever go to a lawyer about anything, the first thing they're going to ask you is "Have you spoken to this to anyone outside of my office?" and if your answer is "Yes" they're going to tell you to stop doing that immediately. If you say you've posted about it online, they tell you to delete it. There is literally nothing you can say publicly that will help your case, only things you can say publicly that will hurt your case.

To say it's "maybe" a good strategy is like saying "maybe" it's good to eat vegetables.
