Foster City declares emergency after cyberattack forces city computer system offline for days
"We don't know what got affected, what departments are affected, how it affects us. Do they have cyber insurance? Or are we taxpayers through the general fund, are we going to front all the costs to rebuild all the servers?"
"I hate to criticize them if they're not giving us updates, like passing judgment super fast. It has only been a couple of days. But it would be nice to get updates on it."
Foster City City Council unanimously declared an emergency following a ransomware attack that affected their computer systems. Most systems were taken offline as a precaution after suspicious network activity was detected. Public services remain limited, and officials plan to provide updates once the situation is resolved. Residents, including Yiming Luo, expressed frustration over the lack of information regarding affected departments and potential data breaches. Luo called for transparency about cyber insurance and the financial implications for taxpayers while acknowledging the efforts of city officials.
