'We apologise': Latest on Glasgow City Council's cyber attack

Glasgow Timesa day ago
The local authority's ICT supplier CGI discovered malicious activity on servers managed by a third-party early in the morning of June 19.
Glasgow City Council is working with Police Scotland, the Scottish Cyber Co-ordination Centre, the National Cyber Security Centre and security experts brought in by CGI to investigate the attack.
It is understood forensic work has now been completed and the council is waiting on the analysis.
Some services are now being brought back online — with public access planning going live again today (Monday), allowing people to view and comment on planning applications.
A temporary workaround was introduced last week. Other services to go back online include pensions and Freedom of Information requests.
A council spokesman said: 'We are working to safely relocate and reinstate online services that were taken offline — with public access to planning applications coming back online today.
'We apologise for the inconvenience caused.'
No evidence of data loss as a result of the attack has been discovered, although the council continues to work on the assumption that there is a risk that data has been compromised until the investigation is complete.
Following the attack, the servers where the malicious activity was discovered were isolated to protect the wider network. However, taking them offline disrupted a number of day-to-day digital services.

How To Improve Interoperability Without Eliminating Positive Fragmentation

Mentioning CLS (continuous linked settlement) and Swift, Devaney describes the differences across initiatives while still emphasising the benefits of a fragmentation of offerings. Devaney describes how having different initiatives for different needs is positive, but there needs to be an increased level of interoperability to bring them all together.
