City of Amarillo Avoids Disastrous Cyber Attack but No Email System



CITY OF AMARILLO AVOIDS DISASTROUS CYBER ATTACK BUT NO EMAIL SYSTEM

The good news is that the City of Amarillo was able to  avoid having their
information compromised over the weekend. The bad guys tried to get into their
systems and get information or whatever bad people want to get.

I mean that is good news that the security put in place to keep everything safe
seemed to work. So no information was compromised. The City of Amarillo is
comprised of a lot of different departments. So a lot of different sets of
information was safe this weekend.

According to their Facebook post:

> The City of Amarillo (COA) identified and prevented a cyber attack over the
> weekend. Because of COA's robust network security systems, there is no
> evidence at this time of a data breach, no information was lost, and no
> ransomware deployed. There was no impact to any public safety service.

The bad news is that if you are use to communicating with them via email you
will not be able to do so this week. They have shut down their email system just
to make sure their email system is also set. Their IT department will be keeping
a close eye on their emails.

So you will need to know these important phone numbers to get you in touch with
the correct departments this week.

As you can see there are a lot of departments that could have been hacked. So
the fact that they were safe is definitely good news.

All other City of Amarillo systems are operating. The City will be able to issue
permits, collect trash, accept utility payments, etc. So in a situation where it
could have been a lot worse we are going to just have to pick up the phone this
week to communicate.

This is a much better situation to be in these days. Even for those of us that
hate to use the phone.


GOOGLE ANSWERS THE TOP 10 QUESTIONS ABOUT AMARILLO

I love Google. It can literally answer ANYTHING you need it to answer. Whether
it's right or wrong is a totally different question.


Recently, I found myself wondering about something and went to Google. And
that's when I started noticing the "people also asked..." section and BOY...Some
of them made perfect sense, some of them were interesting, and one of them was
downright baffling...and it was a top 10 question which is even more absurd.


So let's see what we've got. Here's the top 10 questions as asked to Google
about Amarillo.

Question

Google.com


QUESTION

It's always one of the first questions almost anyone asks when they move
somewhere.
Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

There you have it. According to the most recent census, there's nearly 200,000
people living in our fair city. I've heard rumors that we're over 200,000 now
but we'll roll with the official number for the purposes of this article.
Question

Google.com


QUESTION

Most people want to know the "kind" of person that lives in the city they're
headed to, so it's not all that surprising this question was asked often. So
what did Google say about Amarillo culture?

Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

Now the debate begins. Is Amarillo a "cowboy culture" as Google likes to
describe it? I've definitely seen some cowboy culture here since I moved in.
I've also seen more of a suburban life to it as well. So which one is it?
Question

Google.com


QUESTION

I mean, if it's a cowboy culture we've got going on, surely there's a reason as
to why right?
Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

Turns out Google knows it wasn't named with anything cowboy in mind really. If
you know your Spanish, you know Amarillo translates to "yellow", which is where
we get one of our city nicknames.

Question

Google.com


QUESTION

I had this very question myself. I had no idea why a place would be called Bomb
City unless it was, well you know, the BOMB! What answer does Google give us for
this?
Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

I mean it's a little vague in its response to that question. It brings up the
movie with the same title and gives a TOUCH of insight into the origin of it,
but you need to dig a bit deeper in my mind on this one.
Question

Google.com


QUESTION

I also know it's closer to Colorado than some other cities in Texas and they get
snow in Colorado. Am I going to see that in Amarillo?

Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

Well would you look at that! A place in Texas DOES get snow regularly. Now, it's
not a TON but hey, almost 18 inches a year is nothing to scoff at.
Question

Google.com


QUESTION

Well we know Google believes it to be a cowboy culture with a Spanish name, but
what is the city itself known for?
Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

Well it's known for all the things you and I already know about. Route 66, The
Big Texan, Cadillac Ranch, etc. I will say this...I didn't know about The Big
Texan until I did my Google searching before coming here, so it does give some
good answers!

Question

Google.com


QUESTION

Money is always going to be a factor when asking questions about a city. I've
heard Texas can be super expensive. Is Amarillo the same?
Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

Now THAT is what I wanna see! Talk about one of the cheaper places to live in
Texas. While everything around us is exploding in cost, Amarillo is maintaining
an affordable lifestyle.
Question

Google.com


QUESTION

I mean if you're going to move, you want to know it's a good place you're
headed. Some cities are so bad you have ZERO interest in moving there. What did
Google have to say about Amarillo?

Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

Well now I'm starting to feel REALLY good about moving to Bomb City. Google says
it's one of the best places to live in Texas and gives an idea of who's living
here. Love this answer about our city.
Question

Google.com


QUESTION

Nearly the same question, but you can see why it's asked so much. It goes
hand-in-hand with the question above. So what did Google have to say about crime
here?
Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

Oooooof. Yeah, that's the first time I've been unexcited about becoming an
Amarillo resident. High crime rates aren't really my thing. Now, one thing that
wasn't one of the more asked questions was what KIND of crime is committed here,
but I'm sure it's in the top 20 if you look enough.

Question

Google.com


QUESTION

This has got to be one of the most ignorant questions I'd even think someone
could ask, but the fact that it popped up in the top 10?? Appalling. So what's
the answer to the asinine question?
Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

Of course there is. There's also Hispanic, Asian and every other ethnicity you
can think of. Maybe when this question is asked it should be phrased more like
"what's the ethnicity breakdown" or something like that. What a ridiculous
question to ask.
Question

Google.com


QUESTION

I mean that's a valid question to ask isn't it? What does Google have to say?

Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

Basically what we know...it depends on where you are right? Palo Duro is
BEAUTIFUL, not just pretty.
Question

Google.com


QUESTION

If you're gonna have guests come to town, you'll want things to do with them
right? Google says,
Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

If you believe Google, there is PLENTY to do here and is totally worth visiting.
Now, I'd imagine it depends on your tastes and what you enjoy doing, but we do
have quite a few historical things to check out.

Question

Google.com


QUESTION

It's funny because I swear it's one of the questions I've had asked of me the
most since we moved here. People find out we came here from Austin and they
simply ask, "Why?".
Answer

Google.com


ANSWER

Well I didn't come here because of those particular things, But I can see how
those are all valid reasons to make the move to the Bomb City.


EVERY TIME JEOPARDY! ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT AMARILLO

Amarillo might not be a bustling urban metropolis, but it most certainly is full
of quirky characters, unexpected treasures, and historical gems that fly under
the radar. It should really be no surprise that our fair Yellow City has popped
up more than a few times on Jeopardy!


What's that? How many times is "more than a few times"? Well, take al look and
see for yourself.
