The City of Long Beach was the target of a cyber attack last week, which forced the city to shut down its computer network.
The city publicly announced the attack on Friday after discovering it on Tuesday afternoon.

The network was shut down to protect the city's data. The city said it also hired an IT company to evaluate the intrusion and any impact it may have had.

"At this point we have no indication of any data breach, ransomware effort, or any other obvious malicious intent with regard to the city's data, but the investigation is ongoing," said City Manager Donna Gayden.

The city said its external forensic examination of its network is ongoing. The city hopes to have its service fully restored today.
