About this listen

On July 25, 2025, the city of St. Paul, Minnesota, faced a digital onslaught that brought its municipal systems to a standstill. What began as "suspicious activity" detected on the city's internal networks quickly escalated into a confirmed cyberattack, described by Mayor Melvin Carter as a "deliberate, coordinated digital attack" orchestrated by a sophisticated external actor. The breach targeted critical infrastructure, forcing the city to shut down its IT systems, including Wi-Fi in public buildings and online payment services. This unprecedented disruption prompted a state of emergency, as St. Paul grappled with the immediate fallout of an attack that has left residents and officials scrambling to restore normalcy.
