Two Energy Department labs hit with a cyberattack over the July 4 weekend are recovering.
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Va., is back online and in the process of restoring its website as officials investigate the attack.
“We have a partial website up” at , said public affairs manager Dean Golembeski. “We are still in the process of evaluating what happened.”
The Jefferson Lab, came under attack July 1, along with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington state. PNNL shut down all network access July 1 but began restoring internal communications over the weekend. External e-mail at PNNL was restored on the afternoon of July 6, but the lab’s website remained off-line as of today.
