Overview

• City IT teams, the Minnesota National Guard’s cyber unit, the FBI and two contracted cybersecurity firms continue working to contain the attack and recover critical infrastructure.
• Emergency services, including 911 dispatch and police operations, have remained fully operational despite the network shutdown.
• On July 28, officials shut down non-essential systems as a defensive measure, triggering Wi-Fi outages in libraries and recreation centers and suspending online payments and city services.
• No ransom demand has been detected so far, and investigators are still determining the extent of any data exfiltration.
• City leaders have laid out a phased plan to restore digital systems once containment is assured, though they have not provided a firm timeline.
