City of Johnstown

Mount Vernon-based company Dynamic Networks computers were hacked, affecting its clients, including the city of Johnstown.

The city's police department is the only one that can't access all its data.

However, the city was able to restore from our last online backup and everything was fine just police department is a little bit different.
