The town of Southold (New York) continues to suspend access to its Laserfiche document management system more than six weeks after a cyberattack that occurred on November 24.

Restoring access depends on the completion of $500,000 worth of security improvements, funded by a bond approved by the town council. No restart date has been announced. Supervisor Al Krupski is mentioned without additional details on the technical measures being implemented.
