TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida city confirmed Friday that hackers seeking to extort money were responsible for crippling its computer systems earlier this week but officials have yet to decide whether they will pay a reported $1 million ransom.

If they do opt to fork over the money, they may have to dip into Pensacola city coffers; the city in Florida's Panhandle is not insured for such an attack.
