(TNS) The recent cyberattack at the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority inflicted damage that lasted months and threatened to cause a “public health crisis,” the agency said.
Officials from Jersey City and the autonomous utilities agency have said little about the Sept. 30 ransomware attack, which MUA documents said blocked access to “vital” water and sewer information.

The Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority has hired a law firm to investigate a cyberattack that blocked access to “vital” water and sewer service information and led to an “emergency condition.”
The ransomware attack, which occurred “on or about” Sept. 30, caused the agency to “lose access to vital information and documentation related to the provision of water and sewerage services to the citizens of the City of Jersey City,” according to a resolution approved in October.
