“• “East Windsor officials confirmed Monday that the township experienced a cyber breach that wreaked havoc on its systems and is sending residents fraudulent emails — one week after officials said they first became aware of it.” • “Township manager Jim Brady said the breach is preventing municipal building departments from using the computer system, so a temporary system has been implemented to maintain operations and services. Computers have been temporarily set up at other municipal locations, he said. It takes “slightly more time” to complete things now, he said.” • “Fraudulent emails are being sent to residents from an address designed to look like an official township email address, Brady said.” “THESE EMAILS ARE NOT OFFICIAL EMAILS,” • “East Windsor officials notified the following entities of the breach: the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, the New Jersey State Police, the United States Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI.” • “Township officials are investigating if residents’ personal info has been compromised and while there’s no evidence of that now, “as the investigation is ongoing this position may change,” Brady said.” “
