Town offices were closed for parts of three days in February, but officials have not publicly linked that outage to the ransomware group’s March posting.
Officials said the city isolated the threat, while Leon County cut a network connection as a precaution and warned of possible outages tied to shared applications.
City says missing records, inaccessible systems and wiped devices found after an administrative transition prompted requests for state and federal help.
Officials say a hacked town email prompted the state to cut some system connections, interrupting clerk, dispatch, DMV and records-related access while a forensic review continued.
