LA VERGNE, Tenn. (WTVF) — La Vergne city offices are closed to the public until further notice, a spokesperson for the city said.
In a statement, a spokesperson said "unusual activity" was detected on its local network on Friday and, in response, staff proceeded to take the network offline.
With systems offline, the spokesperson said the city will rely on "old-school processes" until everything is back up and running.
“We are checking all computers on our network,” said city administrator Bruce Richardson. “It’s going to be a long process but we are here to continue supporting our community. We ask for patience and understanding as we go through this situation.”
La Vergne officials are working with a third party cybersecurity team, the FBI, and TBI to investigate the issue.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
