The city responded to the intrusion by severing its entire IT network to contain the spread of malicious software. While the shutdown halted non-essential services like permit processing and online utility payments, public safety protocols remain intact. Emergency calls are currently being rerouted to the Solano County dispatch center, ensuring that 911 services continue to function without interruption for the local population.
During a special session on Saturday, the City Council voted unanimously to authorize the emergency declaration. This move unlocks access to state-level financial aid and specialized technical resources necessary for system recovery. Cybersecurity experts are currently auditing the compromised infrastructure to determine the extent of the damage. Authorities have yet to disclose the identity of the attackers or confirm whether a ransom demand was issued, highlighting the ongoing challenge of securing municipal budgets for proactive defense.
