Long Beach, the city known for its sun, sand, and... cyber attacks? Apparently so! Despite investing $32 million in cybersecurity upgrades over the past five years, the city found itself in a bit of a digital kerfuffle this month. A mysterious cyber intruder poked their nose into city data, leaving officials scrambling to secure their systems and figure out exactly what got swiped. Yet, despite this hiccup, the city's response has been akin to a well-choreographed dance, all things considered.
