While an investigation into the cause of a disruption to the city of Derby’s computer network is still ongoing, service has officially been restored as of Feb. 1. Since mid-January, the city has been dealing with the network disruption – with administrative and IT staff immediately beginning work with third-party computer specialists to investigate the incident. Currently, the investigation (involving federal law enforcement) is seeking to determine what impact, if any, the incident had on information stored on the city’s network systems. City staff reported Derby constantly monitors network security, carries cybersecurity insurance and works with the appropriate agencies when or if there are any concerns. The network disruption interrupted several city services, including email. Any emails sent to city addresses between Jan. 14 and Jan. 31 were not received. Individuals trying to contact city staff during that time are encouraged to now email again or call the city staff person they were attempting to reach during that time period.
