The early-morning cyberattack impacted the New York State Bill Drafting Commission, hindering bill-writing and printing tasks crucial for finalizing the state budget, already significantly overdue.
Governor Kathy Hochul mentioned that the attack would require the state to revert to outdated computer systems from the 1990s, potentially slowing down the legislative process.
The cyberattack raised concerns about potential political motivations, prompting a cybersecurity investigation by the state's team to assess the extent and implications of the incident.
While the attack caused disruptions, representatives from the State Legislature assured that work continued normally, downplaying significant delays in the ongoing budget discussions.
