The threat has impeded City Hall’s operations every day; no information has been released regarding the type of threat, why it occurred, or how much it impacted Cleveland’s computer systems.
Cleveland’s City Hall remained closed to the public while authorities in the second-biggest city in Ohio dealt with the aftermath of a cyberattack. Since it was discovered on Sunday, the threat has impeded city operations every day. No information has been released regarding the type of threat, why it occurred, or how much it impacted Cleveland’s computer systems. Federal and state investigators are at work.
Democratic Mayor Justin Bibb attempted to reopen City Hall and a second government building to workers and residents on Wednesday after shutting down the majority of operations earlier in the week. A plethora of issues surfaced, including difficulties in two of the busiest offices in the city processing birth and death certificates as well as building licenses.
On its first day back, the city made positive progress, according to Bibb’s administration, which also described Wednesday’s events as “expected challenges” as services were restored. However, he issued another order to keep City Hall closed to the public until the end of the week. Workers have returned to their jobs.
For some services, Cleveland officials were directing citizens to the nearby cities of Parma and Lakewood, and some of the online resources seemed to be working. In 2019, Akron was forced to close certain city operations due to a cyberattack.
