“Dynamic Networks President Darren Richards told Johnstown City Council on Tuesday the Mount Vernon-based company's computers were hacked, affecting its clients, including the city of Johnstown.“
“Dynamic Networks is the city’s information technology company. Richards said it has 100 to 150 clients in central Ohio. He said the company restored about 60 servers in a couple days. “
““I hate saying it, but one of our systems got hacked and, in turn, a lot of our clients got hacked,” Richards said. “The infected systems are no longer in use. We shut those down right away. We’re not seeing any personal information leaving.” “
“The city's computer system is backed up to the cloud, but the police department is not, Richards said. City Manager Sean Stanenart said, "There was a recommendation the PD go cloud-based, but the prior chief disagreed. Nothing was taken. Things were encrypted to where we couldn't physically see it. No data was extracted." “
