Mitchell City Hall Cyberattack Disrupts Services | Pierre News

Mitchell City Hall is in the thick of a major cyberattack that began August 6, crippling computer access and forcing delays in public meetings—documents can’t be uploaded, some sessions postponed. Mayor Jordan Hanson can’t confirm if utility billing data is safe, though payments still go through and staff are adapting with phones. This isn’t the first hit: July saw attacks on Pennington County and Rapid City’s wastewater system, underscoring a rising threat to local governments. City Administrator Stephanie Ellwein says live meeting streams and recordings should return next week; one commission meeting was held without broadcast, requiring minutes posted within seven days. Residents may face service delays as officials race to restore systems. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
