NEWBURGH – City Hall will remain closed on Thursday, June 13, after being closed on Wednesday following a computer network breach that has locked city employees out of their computers. City officials indicated on Tuesday that they were experiencing a “network security incident” but did not indicate the nature of the breach or the amount of the network being affected.
The initial Mid Hudson News article regarding the breach can be found here. While the network is under siege, city hall cannot process payments including those for property taxes and water bills.
The 911 system for police and fire emergencies has not been affected and is functioning properly.
“The City will continue to provide updates on the restoration of services through the City’s website and official social media pages,” the social media post said.
