Rivera * Share on Facebook * Share on Twitter 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. Powered By 10 Christy Carlson Romano Celebrates 20 Years of 'Cadet Kelly' (Q&A) Share Next Stay 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. credit: City of Amarillo 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. Gallery Credit: Sarah Clark 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.
