City of Suisun declares local emergency after cyberattack downs 911 dispatch system

Suisun City declared a local emergency on August 8 after a cyberattack compromised its IT systems and disabled the emergency dispatch line starting around 5:45 a.m. on Friday. Malicious software infected multiple key systems, forcing the city to take services offline.

Why it matters: City residents and emergency responders lost access to 911 dispatch during the outage; practitioners managing municipal infrastructure should monitor this incident for indicators of compromise affecting their own critical emergency systems.
