The cyberattack, the city’s administration says in an incident notification, started on Wednesday night and led to network outages as a result of systems being disconnected from the internet.
While voicemail and other non-emergency services are experiencing interruptions or have been taken offline, no critical or emergency services, such as 911 and fire departments, have been impacted.
Oakland’s IT team is currently working with the authorities to investigate the incident and restore the affected services, but no information has been provided on when the impacted systems will be fully functional.
