The city’s library system was the latest to be taken down by an online attack as hackers target libraries globally
People look for books at the Calgary Central Library. After the library's system was shut down due to a cyber attack, branches will reopen Wednesday and cardholders will be able to take out books and materials.The Calgary Public Library planned to reopen limited service in its branches on Wednesday, five days after a cyberattack shut down operations in the latest of a series of hacks of libraries globally.
Calgary Public Library spokeswoman Mary Kapusta said Tuesday it was too early in the investigation to share even basic details about the attack, including how the hackers gained access or whether user data had been compromised. “When we think about libraries, there’s tons of technology services and digital services we provide, but the most important value for libraries for a lot of people every day … is just having that kind of secure space for people to find information,” she said.
