Pensacola Suffers Cyberattack

The city of Pensacola, Florida is experiencing a cyberattack, Mayor Grover Robinson said Monday at a weekly press conference.

Robinson declined to comment on whether the hackers asked for a ransom payment, but said almost all communication systems, including phone lines and email, in the town’s city hall are down. The city is getting help from outside cybersecurity experts to evaluate the situation and help get the systems working again, he said.

“Our computer people were working through the weekend to see what was happening,” he said, adding: “We’ve been sort of looking to reevaluate our entire IT system and so we’ll keep doing that.”
