Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has activated the National Guard in response to a crippling cyberattack that struck the City of Saint Paul, the state's capital, on Friday.
The city is currently working with local, state, and federal partners to investigate the attack and restore full functionality, and says that emergency services have been unaffected.
However, online payments are currently unavailable, and some services in libraries and recreation centers are temporarily unavailable.

I wouldn't think that would be an issue for the National Guard. I clearly have no idea what they do.

The FBI and two national cybersecurity firms have been brought on to mitigate the attack, but it hasn't been enough. Yesterday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz activated state units of the National Guard to assist the city.
"Unfortunately, the scale and complexity of this incident exceeded both internal and commercial response capabilities," Walz said. "As a result, St. Paul has requested cyber protection support from the Minnesota National Guard to help address this incident and make sure that vital municipal services continue without interruption."
