Ponta Grossa City Hall Faces Cyberattack

Reading Time: 2 mins read
in Incidents

The City Hall of Ponta Grossa, located in Campos Gerais, Paraná, Brazil, confirmed it was the target of a cyberattack over the weekend, which disrupted several municipal services. This issue came to light after the city’s press office addressed it publicly, stating that the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DTIC) quickly responded by turning off affected systems and initiating containment measures. While some services were temporarily interrupted, DTIC emphasized that tax and legal records are securely preserved.

Detected in the early hours of Monday, the cyberattack led to immediate damage-control actions as DTIC began assessing the attack type and scope. Despite having advanced protection tools, city officials acknowledged that creating a completely secure network environment remains a challenge given the global rise in cyber threats. Ponta Grossa’s case highlights the ongoing struggle municipalities face in protecting digital infrastructure.

Throughout Monday and Tuesday, municipal services experienced instability, but DTIC worked swiftly to restore functionality. The department assured the public that each affected service is undergoing verification, with a projected timeline for full restoration in the coming days. As services return to normal, officials are prioritizing both immediate repairs and strategies to enhance long-term cyber resilience.

In response to the attack, relevant authorities have been notified and are working alongside local officials to investigate the attack’s origin and identify potential perpetrators. This incident underscores the increasing need for municipalities to strengthen digital security measures, and Ponta Grossa’s leadership is committed to implementing lessons learned to prevent similar disruptions in the future.
