The FBI and Homeland Security have completed their investigation of the cyberattack against the Arkansas City water treatment plant that occurred in late September. City Manager Randy Frazer gave a report of those findings to the city commission last week. He said that a detailed analysis by Homeland Security’s Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) confirmed that no data had been acquired during the attack. He said according to the report, files were accessed but no staging or transfer of data took place. “There was no personal information compromised,” he said. “None of the citizens information of the employee’s information, so we’ll be closing that investigation out.” But the attack was costly for the city. Frazer said the city carries insurance for such attacks that only covered the legal fees and investigation costs. He said those costs came to $58,550, of which all but the $10,000 deductible was reimbursed.
