“The port’s investigation so far has determined that ransomware was involved in this attack,” Randa Coniglio, the port’s chief executive officer, said.
“The port has mobilized a team of industry experts and local, regional, state and federal partners to minimize impacts and restore system functionality, with priority placed on public safety-related systems. The team is currently determining the extent and timing of the incident and the amount of damage to information technology resources and developing a plan for recovery,” Coniglio said.
“The Harbor Police Department continues to use alternative systems and procedures in place to minimize impacts to public safety,” Coniglio said. “Port employees continue to have limited functionality, which may have temporary impacts on service to the public, especially in the areas of park permits, public records requests and business services.”
The port first received reports of the disruption on Tuesday.
