Suisun City Council will convene for an emergency meeting on Tuesday to consider the city’s response to demands from a “person or persons” behind a malware attack that has brought city operations to a standstill since Friday, according to the Suisun City Manager’s Office.
“Our records are hostage,” said Suisun City Council member Princess Washington of the cyberattack.
City Hall has been closed since Friday, when around 5:45 a.m., “a piece of malware” was detected by Suisun City’s information technology department, which is manned by two staffers and a third-party contractor, according to Michael Elm, a spokesperson for the City Manager’s Office.
In-person meetings with most Suisun City agencies were cancelled, including the Planning, Building, Housing, Water, Finance, Human Resources, and Public Works departments, as well as the City Manager’s Office and city administration.
Solano County dispatch is continuing to provide support for 911 calls in Suisun City, with city police and fire departments responding to calls, according to Elm.
