St. Paul, Minn., Systems Come Back Online After Cyber Attack
Government Technology
(TNS) — More than a month after a cyber attack forced the city of St. Paul to shut down its computer systems, services are gradually coming back online.
In recent days, the city has restored its phone service, online water bill payments, and its Parks and Recreation payment systems, according to the mayor’s office. St. Paul Regional Water Services has said it won’t charge late fees for bills during the outage.
Library cataloging and checkout systems also have been restored, though as of Thursday, public Internet terminals were still offline. Internally, network and shared drives have been restored as well, Mayor Melvin Carter’s spokesperson Jennifer Lor said in an email.
“We are now in recovery,” she wrote. “Our approach is deliberate, prioritized, and secure: systems are brought back only after testing and validation, with priority given to those essential for public safety, financial stability, and daily operations.”
