Hoboken government offices shut down due to ransomware attack. The city of Hoboken, New Jersey, closed its government offices on Wednesday following a ransomware attack that disrupted various services. Officials announced that all online city services are suspended, and City Hall is closed, with municipal court and street sweeping also canceled. However, parking enforcement, waste collection, and recreational programs will continue as scheduled. The Hoboken Police Department is collaborating with city administration and IT to investigate the incident and restore services.
