NY: Long Beach Computer Network Shut Down After Cyber Attack Found

Posted on December 8, 2020 by Dissent

According to the city, some of its technology employees saw unusual interactions in the city’s network and told city leaders, who in turn contacted the county’s Information Technology Division and the state Office of Homeland Security.
