People in Philadelphia experienced problems with their internet yesterday because of a global IT issue. The City of Philadelphia's Office of Innovation and Technology (OIT) announced that the problem was due to a planned upgrade, not a cyber attack. They quickly informed everyone to ease concerns, according to the City of Philadelphia.
Officials explained that the internet issues were happening worldwide, not just in Philadelphia. The OIT confirmed it was a technical problem from an upgrade.
The city assured residents that essential services would continue and promised regular updates. They are monitoring the situation and working to fix the problems caused by this global IT issue. Although it's uncertain when everything will be back to normal, the OIT is committed to keeping residents informed.
