Cybersecurity incident impacts Newburgh – Hudson Valley Press

NEWBURGH – A network security incident was identified in the City of Newburgh on Tuesday. This incident will result in a temporary interruption of some City services. The City has engaged outside IT experts and other professionals to work with the City around the clock to fully restore operations.

At this time, the City is unable to process or accept payments for property taxes, water, sewer, sanitation, permit fees, or parking tickets, so services at City Hall and 123 Grand Street are closed to the public until further notice.

City police and fire emergency numbers are not disrupted and emergency calls to 911 are fully operational. You may continue to use your existing phone and email addresses to contact City departments, but please note that the security incident may have impacted both phone and email systems, which may result in delayed messaging and longer response times.

The City will continue to provide updated information regarding the restoration of services on its website and official social media pages.
