City of Oakland

The City of Oakland reported a ransomware attack. The City of Oakland, out of an abundance of caution, took the affected systems offline while they worked to secure the affected infrastructure.

In order to ascertain the extent and gravity of the problem, the information technology department alerted the relevant authorities and started an inquiry into the occurrence.

Even while the City's primary operations—including 911, financial information, and fire and rescue resources—were unaffected, the notice it published cautions the public about potential delays from the City as a result of the attack.

The City has verified that an unauthorized entity has obtained a number of files from its network and has threatened to make the information publicly available.
