Leicester City Council says IT systems and a number of its critical service phone lines will remain down until later this week at the earliest following a "cyber incident".
The governing body of the midlands city in England first reported issues across its services on March 7 and announced via its X channel that it had yanked a number of systems offline. A day later, it attributed the outages to a "cyber incident."
Nowadays, when organizations are as vague as this, it can mean things are worse than they're letting on.
