The computer network of Lac-Mégantic Town faced a cyberattack, resulting in the City's inability to receive emails and the unavailability of public wifi at the CSM.

This incident led to a computer outage across all services, impacting facilities such as the ecocenter, City Hall, the Mégantic Sports Center, and the Baie-des-Sables tourist resort.

All municipal services, including critical networks like drinking water and wastewater, were promptly secured in response to the attack.

The City has enlisted the expertise of professionals to support its teams in the ongoing efforts to restore systems and recover lost data.
