On April 10, 2020, the borough’s computer systems were infected with ransomware, rendering them inoperable and disrupting electric, water, sewer, and trash services. The attackers initially demanded a ransom of $50,000 for the decryption key. After the borough’s contracted IT provider was unable to restore systems from compromised backups, negotiations led to a payment exceeding $40,000. Officials initially withheld public disclosure of the incident, citing legal and security concerns, although internal communications showed awareness of the attack and the payment plan. The ransomware did not expose personal data because such information was not stored on the affected systems. In response to the breach, the borough engaged state police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate the attack’s origin and perpetrators. Subsequently, the organization adopted enhanced cybersecurity measures, including cloud‑based backups and additional security layers, to improve resilience against future incidents.
