Just days after Saint John confirmed a cyberattack on its computer network, the City of Fredericton said it was also targeted with the same ransomware attack.

The City of Saint John says it has been targeted with ransomware. The computer virus was discovered Friday during routine monitoring of information technology.

All online classes at Saskatchewan Polytechnic will resume on Monday, one week after the school fell victim to a ransomware attack.

Online classes, including Zoom classes, remain cancelled.

The attack launched on Oct. 19, affected 1,000 of the transit agency's 1,600 servers. Of those, 624 are considered operationally sensitive.

In a joint alert Wednesday, the FBI and two federal agencies warned that they had “credible information of an increased and imminent cybercrime threat to U.S. hospitals and healthcare providers.”

The breach affected about five per cent of its clients, Medisys said.

The ransomware, like similar malware, often infiltrates computer networks via phishing emails.

The College of Nurses of Ontario, which oversees about 188,000 members, offered few details about what it had previously referred to only as a "cybersecurity incident" it discovered Sept. 8.

According to the regional district, staff were alerted to the attempted attack on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
