A spokesperson for St. Paul Public Works said road construction continued uninterrupted, and the mayor emphasized that St. Paul Police squad cars will still respond to emergencies, though they’ll do so by phone and radio dispatch, and without the aid of squad laptops.

Sometimes, though, the hacks hit harder than usual. That was the case in St. Paul, Minnesota, which suffered a significant cyberattack last Friday that it has been unable to mitigate. Things have gotten so bad that the city has declared a state of emergency, while the governor activated the National Guard to assist.
