Municipality of Balneário Camboriú

The Municipality of Balneário Camboriú is the local government authority responsible for administering the city of Balneário Camboriú in Brazil. It provides a range of public services typical of municipal administrations, including urban planning, sanitation, public safety, and local infrastructure maintenance. As a municipal entity, it operates under the legal framework of Brazilian municipal law and is accountable to the city's residents and elected officials. The organisation's headquarters are located within the city itself, serving as the central point for administrative functions and citizen services. Its core mission is to ensure the orderly development and quality of life for the community within its jurisdiction.

In January 2021, the municipality experienced a ransomware attack that disrupted its online services and prompted the filing of a police report. According to the Information Technology Division director, the attack was contained to prevent data compromise, with systems temporarily blocked to secure information. The incident led to a temporary suspension of certain digital services while the municipality worked to restore normal operations. Officials indicated that services were expected to resume shortly after the containment measures were implemented. This event highlights the cybersecurity challenges faced by local government entities in maintaining resilient digital infrastructure.
