Ten days after a cybersecurity threat shut down dozens of routine services and threw a wrench into daily city business, Cleveland City Hall is planning—finally—to reopen Thursday at noon.
On June 10, the city announced a" cyber attack " had hindered regular operations, leading to a sudden shut down, which meant hundreds of employees working remote and residents shut out from the building. Days later, the attack was categorized as ransomware, meaning hackers had penetrated an open door in the city's digital infrastructure and potentially held files or servers hostage.
"We thank the public for their patience and understanding during this challenging time," a spokesperson for City Hall wrote in a statement."City Hall remains committed to ensuring the security and integrity of our systems and services as we continue to recover from the cyberattack."
