KY: City of Frankfort has IT network hacked

Posted on March 24, 2021 by Dissent

Austin Horn reports:

The City of Frankfort says it learned of a hack to its servers on Sunday.

Two separate sources with knowledge of the situation — including one city employee — told The State Journal that the city is being held ransom. Both spoke on condition of anonymity.

After an inquiry from the newspaper, the city sent out a news release Tuesday evening saying that it had suffered an “intrusion into the IT network that disrupted access to some computer servers” and that several “internal systems are temporarily unavailable.”
