On Monday morning, Pensacola Mayor Grover Robinson announced that the city, where an aviation student from Saudi Arabia murdered three people at a naval air base last Friday, had been under siege from a cyber attack since 1:45 a.m. on Saturday. As the Pensacola City Journal reported, Robinson said at his weekly press conference that virtually all the computer communication systems in City Hall as well as online payment systems at Pensacola Energy and for city sanitation were shut down.
Robinson said he did not know whether the cyber attack had anything to do the shooting at NAS Pensacola. According to ABC 3, Robinson asserted, “We are at this point going in two different directions. We’re working it from a legal standpoint, trying to work it forensically that way, trying to figure out who this was. And two, where do we go from here in putting our system back together.”
