Please let us know if you have feedbackDive Brief:The Suisun City, California, City Council declared a state of emergency Saturday after malicious software forced the city to shut down its entire IT network, including critical public safety operations such as 911 routing, police and fire dispatch, records and city services.
The city transferred its dispatch operations to the Solano County, California, dispatch center and said it is working with federal, state and regional authorities to maintain emergency services and restore its systems.
Earlier this year, another California municipality, Foster City, had many of its city services knocked out for weeks following a ransomware incident.
As of Monday, public safety services and response remain active in Suisun City, which has a population of around 30,000, but some services are limited or closed to the public.
Online city services and internal operations are still unavailable.
