The FOX 8 I-Team learned the city of Cleveland is investigating what it calls a “cyber incident.”
A spokesperson for the mayor’s office said, “We have not confirmed its nature and scope, we are taking this incident seriously. As a precautionary measure, the city has shut down the affected systems while we focus on securing and restoring services safely.”
As a result, Cleveland City Hall is closed on Monday, June 10, along with the offices in Erieview.
“These systems will remain offline until we have a better understanding of the situation,” the city said. “We take cyberthreats extremely seriously and are working expeditiously to rectify the situation.”
The city said emergency services (such as police, fire, and EMS) are not affected.
No further information has been released at this time. Check back for updates on this developing story.
