MSB Cybersecurity Incident August 17 Update

The Mat-Su Borough has been the victim of a multi-pronged, multi-vector cybersecurity incident resulting from a series of viruses, malware, and ransomware used by third-party hackers to disable our systems. Because of the nature of the attack, the Mat-Su Borough has had to entirely rebuild its systems. We have had teams of borough employees and outside IT specialists working overtime to bring systems back online in the most secure way possible and to restore borough operations. This is a time consuming process, but the Mat-Su Borough has worked as quickly as possible to restore services and investigate this incident.

All Borough facilities remain open to the public with the exception of general limitations as described above.
