All Calgary Public Library locations reopened Wednesday with modified services after a cybersecurity breach forced branches to close Friday.
Due to the sensitive and/or legal subject matter of some of the content on globalnews.ca, we reserve the ability to disable comments from time to time.The investigation into what caused a security breach that closed nearly two dozen Calgary Public Library branches is ongoing. As Craig Momney explains, the libraries are nearing reopening, but with some modifications.Visitors now have access to services that don’t require technology while CPL IT teams continue to investigate the breach.
“We want people to know it’s going to look a little bit different, a little old school,” said Mary Kapusta, CPL director of communications and engagement. “For instance, you can browse our collections and take out books, we’ll have manual checkouts going with our staff.”Rooms are available on a first come, first served basis, and programs that don’t require technology, including Family Storytime, Baby Rhyme Time and Reading Buddies, have resumed.
“Anything that requires digital services or technology, printing, Wi-Fi, automated room bookings, program registration, has been put on pause right now,” Kapusta said. “We appreciate your patience as we’re working to get it all back up as soon as we can.”The investigation into the breach is ongoing, and at this point it’s unknown the extent of the compromised data or who is responsible for the attack.
The CPL containment process has been enabled and services will come back online as it is deemed safe to do so, but Kapusta says it will still be a while before the all the details and full scale of the attack are known.Iranian hackers target critical sectors with ‘brute force,’ U.S., Canada sayIn an engineering feat, mechanical SpaceX arms catch Starship rocket booster back at the launch padRead
