On June 1, 2025, the City of Green River experienced a ransomware attack that crippled its computer systems. Finance Director Chris Meats confirmed the incident and stated that there was no evidence of data being accessed or taken. IT Director David Halter noted that the Sweetwater Combined Communications Joint Powers Board provided a temporary, isolated network to the police department to enable report writing during the disruption. Other local entities, including the Joint Powers Water Board, the school district, the sheriff’s office, and a neighboring city, reported that they were not affected by similar ransomware activity. The incident underscores the city's dependence on its IT infrastructure for daily operations and highlights the role of inter‑agency support in maintaining essential services.
