City of Saint John launches temporary website https://www.saintjohn.ca/news-and-service-updates

For Immediate Release City of Saint John coordinating with federal and provincial partners in response to cyber attack November 16, 2020 - Late Sunday evening, ...on November 15, the City notified the public about a significant cyber attack on its municipal networks. The City has been working around the clock to contain the attack and mitigate any current and future risks to the municipality. The response was immediate, and remains in the best interest of the City and residents. Pertinent updates will continue to be provided to the media and public as more information becomes available. The City’s overall objective is to contain the exposure, control the response and mitigate risk. The City has been asked by some to share more confidential details about the attack. While ensuring that the public remains informed, and any impact on the delivery of municipal services is understood, the City must also acknowledge that providing too much information would be problematic to recovery efforts. It is a cyber security ‘best-practice’ to not publicly provide details that could further compromise the City’s position, including information on the effectiveness of the attack, the systems affected, and success of our containment efforts. Providing this level of detail would be beneficial to the attacker as they could attempt further attacks; it would also provide valuable information to potential copycat hackers; and could compromise investigative efforts. The City is coordinating with Federal and Provincial agencies and is working with our partners to help manage any risks. Provincial security and emergency staff are actively monitoring the situation and have offered technical and operational assistance to the city if needed. This includes officials from the Office of the Provincial Security Advisor and the New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization in the Department of Justice and Public Safety, as well as Service New Brunswick and the province’s Office of the Chief Information Officer. Investigators with the Saint John Police Force are also investigating, and have contacted the National Cybercrime Coordination Unit and sought assistance from the New Brunswick RCMP Digital Forensics Unit. - Tard dimanche soir, le 15 novembre, la Ville a annoncé au public qu’une importante cyberattaque avait affecté ses réseaux municipaux. La Ville a travaillé sans arrêt depuis dimanche pour contenir l'attaque et atténuer les risques actuels et futurs pour la municipalité. La réponse a été immédiate, et reste dans le meilleur intérêt de la Ville et des résidents. Nous continuerons de fournir des mises à jour aux médias et au public à mesure que de nouveaux renseignements pertinents sont disponibles. L'objectif général de la Ville est de contenir l'exposition, de contrôler la réponse et d'atténuer les risques. Certains ont demandé à la Ville de partager des renseignements plus confidentiels concernant l'attaque. Tout en veillant à ce que le public reste informé et que les impacts sur la prestation des services municipaux sont bien compris, la Ville doit aussireconnaître que fournir trop d'informations pourrait s’avérer problématique pour les efforts de rétablissement. La meilleure pratique en matière de cybersécurité est de ne pas fournir publiquement des détails qui pourraient compromettre davantage la position de la Ville, y compris des renseignements sur l'efficacité de l'attaque, les systèmes touchés et le succès des efforts de confinement. Le fait de fournir ce niveau de détail serait bénéfique pour l’agresseur, car il pourrait tenter d'autres attaques. Cela fournirait également de précieux renseignements aux pirates imitateurs potentiels et pourrait compromettre les efforts d'enquête. Le personnel de la Ville coordonne ses efforts avec des organismes à l’échelle fédérale et provinciale et travaille en collaboration avec ses partenaires pour tenter de gérer tous les risques. Le personnel provincial chargé des menaces à la sécurité et des situations d'urgence surveille activement la situation et a offert une assistance technique et opérationnelle à la Ville en cas de besoin. Il s'agit de fonctionnaires du Bureau du conseiller provincial en matière de sécurité et de l'Organisation des mesures d'urgence du Nouveau-Brunswick au ministère de la Justice et de la Sécurité publique, ainsi que de Service Nouveau-Brunswick et du Bureau du chef de l'information de la province. Les enquêteurs du Service de police de Saint John mènent actuellement une enquête et ont contacté l'Unité nationale de coordination de la cybercriminalité et demandé l'aide du Groupe de la criminalistique numérique de la GRC du Nouveau-Brunswick.

We have reopened the Tot's Pool! We are limiting the capacity to 8 at this time, one parent in each corner (counts towards total) to not impede thru traffic. #uptownsj #aquatics #fitness
