Restoration underway after Glens Falls, New York, cybersecurity incident

City officials said Monday, August 25, 2025, that recovery is underway after a network cybersecurity incident detected the prior week; the city’s third-party IT provider identified and contained the issue, and some online connections and portals were disabled as a precaution. All municipal offices remain open, and essential services and emergency communications continue to operate in Glens Falls, New York, while restoration proceeds and further updates are promised.

Officials did not attribute the attack or report data theft as of publication. Residents may see temporary suspension of select online services as technicians bring systems back online. The incident follows a summer of heightened cyber activity in New York, including a separate Oracle Health/Cerner vendor breach that affected some Glens Falls Hospital patients but not city systems, and new state measures to improve municipal cyber incident reporting; Glens Falls serves roughly 15,000 residents in Warren County.
