Foster City is slowly getting back online after a ransomware attack knocked out the city's network more than a week ago. Officials announced Friday that phone and email services are working again, though they're still working to restore virtual city services. The cyberattack was discovered March 19 by IT staff, prompting the city council to declare a state of emergency Monday to speed up recovery efforts. City Hall remains open with limited services during regular hours. While the city hasn't revealed what sensitive information might have been compromised, they stressed that emergency services like 911 and police dispatch stayed fully operational throughout the incident. **Source:** [CBS News San Francisco](https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/foster-city-ransomware-cyberattck-phone-email-services-restored/)
