Rockaway Twp. police computer hacker still unknown; leaders want answers

Posted on December 10, 2018 by Dissent

Gene Myers reports that not only does the township not have answers, they are fighting and resigning over who is being included in the security investigation:

No new information has been released two weeks after the Thanksgiving Day cyber attack against the police department’s computer system.
The lack of answers has angered township leaders who accused the new mayor and police of keeping them out of the loop.


The investigation is ongoing, said Police Chief Martin McParland, but added he could not release more information as to not hinder the investigation. He did say the department “retained third party experts to assist them with remediation and data restoration.”
