ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra says it’s working with cybersecurity experts after an ‘incident’ in October that disrupted some networks.
The RPO says all network issues have since been fixed. The incident didn’t impact the system that stores data from patrons and donors. The nonprofit is still working with its security team and employees to determine if other sensitive data may have been impacted.
The RPO says it had safeguards in place that limited the impact of the incident. Here’s the full statement from an RPO spokesperson:
“The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) experienced a cyber incident in October that created a limited disruption in access to certain locations within our IT network. Since then, we have continued to work with our cybersecurity experts and have fully remediated all network issues related to the incident. Access to the affected areas of the network has been restored and normal operations have resumed. We are grateful our team had safeguards in place that limited the impact of this incident.”
“The system that houses our patron and donor transaction data was not impacted by the incident. We are working closely with our security team and our employees to determine the extent to which other sensitive data may have been impacted and are exploring all remediation options available. The RPO takes data security and privacy issues very seriously and will provide further comment when appropriate.”
