POINT PLEASANT — The City of Point Pleasant may’ve been hacked.
According to a press release from Mayor Brian Billings on Friday morning, the City of Point Pleasant was notified from an outside agency of a potential security breach of its computer system. Billings’ statement said the apparent breach was originated from an outside source.
Upon learning of the potential breach, city officials immediately contacted the West Virginia State Police who began an official investigation into the matter.
“At the direction of the West Virginia State Police, no further comment will be made by the City due to the ongoing nature of the investigation,” Billings said.
It remains unclear what information, if any, was obtained during the apparent breach, whether financial records, employee or customer records, or all of the above. The Point Pleasant Register will continue to monitor the story and stay in touch with city officials as they attempt to solve the problem and cooperate with the W.Va. State Police in the ongoing investigation.
