The city of Osawatomie’s network servers were subjected to 47,000 cyberattacks during a one-month period earlier this year. Most of the attacks emanated from inside Russia. Bill Justesen, the city’s director of information technology, delivered that sobering news during the City Council’s April 14 meeting. The city has two networks, one for City Hall and the other for the Osawatomie Police Department, Justesen said. Two internet service providers connect the city’s two networks to the internet, he said. “Between January and February, we had approximately 47,000 attacks against our network,” Justesen said. “That’s 47,000 direct attacks against our servers.”
