As city staff work to restore in-house technology systems and the city website following last week’s attempted ransomware attack, Independence officials have not said whether the attack compromised personal or financial information for utility customers.
City Manager Zach Walker said Monday that question remains “undetermined.” In a release last week, Walker said the attack resulted in “technical difficulties and disruption to multiple services” but was discovered and halted “before it could infect the full city network.”
The city’s online payment system remains unavailable, and in part because of that the city has waived late fees on utility bill payments and suspended utility shutoffs until further notice.
