Oak Ridge, Tennessee said city officials are working with law enforcement and cybersecurity experts to deal with a ransomware attack affecting its technology systems. The 31,000-resident city is located in the eastern part of the state and is best known for being the production site of the Manhattan Project – the effort by several governments to build the first atomic bombs. In a statement on Twitter, the city said Oak Ridge Police and Fire departments can still be contacted over the phone and officials provided a phone number for those with utility issues.
