"The City of New Orleans is under a cyberattack. Please power off your computers and unplug them immediately. Await further instructions," an internal text message from the New Orleans Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness said.
Mayor LaToya Cantrell said that investigators “detect ransomware,” but no ransom requests have been made and the exact nature of the attack is still unknown.
LaGrue added that phishing attempts were made to obtain city employees login credentials and security clearances, but they were unsuccessful.
