A suspected cyber attacker targeted the email system used by San Marcos city employees last week leaving them unable to communicate with some of the public.

Employees discovered the problems last Friday morning, and the city manager confirmed they were victims of suspected hacking.
While some public services are delayed, the city manager said emergency services in San Marcos are not at risk.

Things like building permit processing, city council paperwork, finances and accounting are impacted. City officials said the "System will be restored soon" and government files are "Secure and uncompromised."
“We'll do the full-on debrief, and then figure out whatever we have to do to harden things up,” Griffin said.
