The scope of the network infrastructure impacted is still unknown, Sanchez said, and it&#8217;s uncertain how much data has been taken and needs to be recovered.<\/p>\n<p><span data-bsp-pv=\"4f8e492c-6f2f-390e-bc61-f176d3a37ab9\"\/><span data-bsp-pv=\"0000019c-1f40-d3a0-a3be-dfeab2430000\"\/><br \/>He noted the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, the FBI and independent cybersecurity experts all were assisting with the recovery efforts and investigating the cause of the attack.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As part of this ongoing investigation, we are working to determine which portions of the city&#8217;s network infrastructure were impacted,&#8221; Sanchez stated. &#8220;That process takes time, and I want to thank our collective team for working 24\/7 to ensure that it is done carefully and correctly. Based on current assessments, we anticipate beginning to bring certain systems back online this weekend, with continued progress thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The city takes this matter extremely seriously. We are working closely with state and federal authorities and cybersecurity professionals to secure our systems, protect information, and ensure a full and responsible recovery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There will be no disruption of emergency services during the process, Sanchez said, adding he will continue to provide more updates as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2026 the New Haven Register (New Haven, Conn.).
