Heber City

Heber City's municipal computer systems were back online by Thursday after an Oct. 10 cyberattack, city officials told KPCW. The attack breached the city's local network, and officials said it was contained. [1]

The city's website was unaffected and essential services were not suspended, officials said. Residents could continue paying bills online. A city spokesperson told KUTV that the website runs on a separate cloud-based platform. [1][2]

The FBI is assisting an investigation into the intrusion. It remained unclear what information, if any, had been compromised, KPCW reported Friday. [1]
