City of Oakland Hit by Ransomware Attack

The City of Oakland, California, on Friday announced that it was forced to take some systems offline after falling victim to a ransomware attack. The cyberattack, the city’s administration says in an incident notification, started on Wednesday night and led to network outages as a result of systems being disconnected from the internet. While voicemail and other non-emergency services are experiencing interruptions or have been taken offline, no critical or emergency services, such as 911 and fire departments, have been impacted.
