Beginning at 5am today, suspicious activity was detected on the City's network. As technicians investigated, activity indicating a cybersecurity incident was detected around 11am and as a precaution, the City's IT department began powering down servers and City computers.

This has GRU-like fingerprints. Check Louisiana's voting machines! Remember Trump has again asked Russia, not just Ukraine, to help him “win” reelection in 2020. Article I charges Trump's compromise of our election integrity and national security . . . https://www.cnn.com/...

What we know: ➡ At least 4,000 computers will need to be scrubbed. ➡ Around 400 servers were affected. ➡ City officials said the attack was “very minimal” https://www.nola.com/...

It's still 2019 and Harvard Law professors are spreading election disinformation. God help us in 2020. https://twitter.com/...

@tribelaw Prof. Tribe- This incident is completely consistent with other ransomware attacks against municipalities and there is no indication of GRU activity nor is this consistent with known GRU TTPs (Tactics, Techniques and Procedures). I suggest you delete this tweet.

Nothing has surfaced suggesting this is GRU. Yes, they use ransomware, but the threat to state and municipal networks from good old fashioned criminals is far, far greater. https://twitter.com/...

It's true Louisiana uses digital voting machines, but they are never connected to the internet. They're also currently in storage and have nothing to do with what happened Friday: an attack against the city of New Orleans's municipal IT systems. What an irresponsible tweet. https…

Quite a weekend New Orleans is having. Cyber attack on Friday. (Apparent) explosion at a S&WB plant on Saturday. Cheering for the Falcons on Sunday.
