Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Tuesday called in the National Guard’s cyber experts to help the City of Saint Paul respond to a cyberattack.
The Minnesota National Guard’s cyber forces will collaborate with city, state, and federal officials to resolve the situation and mitigate lasting impacts. Above all, we are committed to protecting the safety and security of the people of Saint Paul.
“The City of Saint Paul is actively responding to a digital security incident that is temporarily impacting access to some internal systems and online services. Our teams are working closely with local, state, and federal partners to resolve the situation and restore full functionality,” a notice on the city’s website reads.
The sophisticated attack exceeded the city’s response capacity, and on Tuesday Governor Walz issued an executive order declaring a state of emergency and activating the deployment of Minnesota’s National Guard cyber protection support.
