The processing of applications for social assistance benefits and energy allowances may take longer in Noordenveld in the coming period. The administration system of the social domain of the municipality was hit by a ransomware attack on Wednesday.
Due to the attack, the servers running the administration system have been shut down. This means that municipal employees cannot use the system at the moment. Noordenveld is currently having the causes and consequences of the attack investigated. A preliminary first conclusion is that no data has been leaked or encrypted.
The supplier of the administration system hopes to have the system up and running again as soon as possible.
