The town of Huntsville has shared more details about a cybersecurity incident earlier this month.
The Muskoka community says it was hit on March 10 by a ransomware attack, in which vital digital information is held hostage for payment.
Denise Corry, the town's chief administrative officer, says an "unauthorized user" infiltrated the town's systems and data was compromised.
It's still not clear if the compromised date includes personal information.
Services are still in the process of being restored, and officials say the town has reviewed and strengthened its systems to mitigate future risk.
The attack in Huntsville came two weeks after officials in Hamilton learned of a similar cybersecurity incident targeting that city.
