   The city also took down its Peace and Atomic Bomb general page, which linked to the portal, as a precaution although no damage was found there. [1] [2]

   At 11:00 the city resumed the general page after adding a WAF at the server entrance and confirming the software was current. The portal stayed closed for emergency maintenance. [1] [2]

Only one place was altered, showing unrelated English text and a link that led to a site that downloads a suspicious file. The date and cause of the intrusion were still under investigation, and the city told ScanNetSecurity they were not yet known. [1] [2]
