Cyber bully: City of Richmond falls victim to cyber hack from third party

After unauthorized access to the city of Richmond’s technology systems by an unknown third party last week, the city said the investigation into the data breach remains ongoing.

“We are treating this matter with the highest priority and working with independent IT experts to conduct a thorough investigation and response,” a release from City Manager Rob Minerich states.

Richmond officials believe at this time the primary impact of the incident has been disruption of access to a shared file storage server.
