More
than
a
week
after
a
ransomware
attack
on
Oakland
networks,
some
city
services
are
still
struggling
to
recover.
Although
the
Oakland
officials
assure
residents
fire
emergency,
911
dispatch,
and
the
Oakland
financial
systems
are
functioning
normally,
other
operations
haven’t
yet
recovered
from
the
Feb.
8
cyberattack.
IT
had
to
move
some
city
systems
offline
as
part
of
the
effort
to
restore
services.
Filing
police
reports
and
paying
taxes
are
among
the
city
services
still
offline,
according
to
local
news
reports.
“The
City’s
IT
Department
is
working
with
a
leading
forensics
firm
to
perform
an
extensive
incident
response
and
analysis,
as
well
as
with
additional
cybersecurity
and
technology
firms
on
recovery
and
remediation
efforts,”
Oakland
officials
said
in
their
latest
update
on
the
city’s
cyberattack
response
and
recovery
efforts.
“This
continues
to
be
an
ongoing
investigation
with
multiple
local,
state,
and
federal
agencies
involved.”
