Area city’s cyber attack: Functions restored, $350,000 spent, personal data issue in limbo

Posted on January 5, 2024 by Dissent

Aimee Hancock reports:

The city of Huber Heights remains under a state of emergency as officials work to finalize recovery operations nearly two months after a cyberattack took down multiple government systems and functions.

According to City Manager Rick Dzik, all city services are functional, though “additional infrastructure work” is still underway.

[…]

“Payments were made to Secure Cyber Defense, who was the vendor that provided on-site response and recovery to the city throughout the attack; Coveware for threat actor negotiations; Sylint for forensic investigation; Best Buy and Micro Center for temporary devices; CMI/Civica to move our finance software to the Cloud; and Motorola to move our bodycam records to the cloud,” Dzik said in an email.

It is still unknown if any resident data has been affected by the attack, Dzik said, and the city is now working with a data mining company to collect files from the forensic investigators involved in the response.
