The New York City Law Department's computer system was breached by hackers over the weekend, leading the city to restrict network access as it looks into the cyberattack.
The intrusion caused court hearings to be disturbed, city attorneys to be halted, and some legal matters within the agency to become disorganised.
The city restricted access to the Law Department's network as a precaution to safeguard security.
The attorneys for the department didn't have access to their email.
