Empire Company Limited isn’t in a position right now to determine when the problems affecting its systems will be fully resolved.

Mayor of Laval Stéphane Boyer said last week that a certain amount of data was taken by the hackers, but that the worst had been avoided, thanks to the city’s quick response.

Today, those services are back to normal, and can therefore be used by Laval residents.

“Let’s recall that by noting a suspicious activity, the City of Laval acted quickly and proactively to secure its online services, by closing its access to citizens,” the press release mentioned.
