“Oregon City officials are beefing up protections against network attacks and still determining how much forensic and legal fees are being spent after a hacker recently disrupted city services. “
“The hacker had gotten stuck behind Oregon City’s network firewalls and had demanded a ransom even through the hacker was not able to access the city’s network. Oregon City didn’t pay the ransom; officials shut down parts of the network as a precaution, then carefully began turning them back on with backed up data.“
“Extra costs to Oregon City for hiring third-party specialists brought in to assist are still being tabulated and will be billed to the city’s insurance. “
“In addition to the city’s previously reported inability to issue land-use permits due to the computer problems, Oregon City had to cancel a City Commission meeting on Feb. 15 and was unable to process supposedly automatic payments through utility customers’ bank drafts.“
