NEWBURGH – City of Newburgh officials announced on early Tuesday morning a network security incident, resulting in a temporary disruption of some City services.
The City has retained outside IT experts and other professionals who are working feverishly to fully restore operations. At this time, the City is unable to process or accept payments for property taxes, water, sewer, sanitation, permit fees, or parking tickets. Services at City Hall and 123 Grand Street will be closed to the public until further notice.
There is no disruption to City Police and Fire emergency lines and calls to 911 are fully functional. Residents can continue to use existing phone numbers and emails to contact City departments, but the security incident may have impacted both phone and email systems. This could result in delayed delivery of messages and response times.
Newburgh officials will continue to provide updates on the restoration of services through the City’s website and official social media pages.
