New Britain, Connecticut, Struggles to Recover from Ransomware Attack
The city of New Britain, Connecticut, is working to recover from a ransomware attack that has disrupted phone and computer systems across multiple departments. The attack began early Wednesday, leaving many systems offline, although safety operations were reportedly unaffected. Mayor Bobby Sanchez expressed hope that systems would be restored over the weekend and into the following week. The full extent of the network infrastructure impacted remains unknown, and it is unclear how much data has been compromised. The Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, the FBI, and independent cybersecurity experts are assisting in the recovery and investigation efforts.
