An attempted data breach at 小蓝视频 Housing this month did not result in any information being compromised, Glacier Media has learned.
Glacier Media first reported the attempted breach on .
In a statement to Glacier Media Thursday, 小蓝视频 Housing said its online security system identified the attempt on Jan. 20.
“The attempted breach was identified before any data was compromised,” said a spokesperson.
As a preventative measure, 小蓝视频 Housing took down three online services: its non-profit protal, citizen portal and housing registry.
小蓝视频 Housing said the non-profit and citizen portals are back online; the housing registry, used by people to submit a new application for housing, remains offline.
"小蓝视频 Housing appreciates people’s patience as we safely bring the systems back online,” said the spokesperson.
The remaining service is expected to be back online "soon." Staff say users can expect an update early next week.
"小蓝视频 Housing is committed to online security and proactively monitors systems with the highest diligence,” said the statement.
