“The cybersecurity incident hit critical public safety operations, including 911 routing, police and fire dispatch, records and city services,” the city said
“There is no imminent threat to the public,” the city said. “All public safety services remain active.”
The city shut down its computer network “to contain the threat and preserve evidence for a federal investigation,” it said
The city, with a population of about 30,000, said it is working with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and California Office of Emergency Services to investigate the incident and restore systems
The state of emergency, approved at a special meeting of the council Saturday morning, allows the city to access emergency support services and to recoup costs of the cybersecurity incident, it said
