PALM BAY, Fla. — Palm Bay officials are advising customers who pay their utilities online to make sure no fraudulent charges have been made it said after software used by the city was the target of a cyberattack.

The software, Click2Gov, is used by the city to accept utility payments. Palm Bay Community Information Coordinator Christina Born said CentralSquare, the company that manages Click2Gov, notified the city about the breach.

“(August) 29th, right before the hurricanes... There may have been some kind of issues, and we sent over our servers and sent it to (Central Square’s) forensic department,” Born said.

According to Palm Bay officials, they were not the only city targeted — seven others were also impacted nationwide.

Palm Bay says it’s uncertain how many of their 8,000 customers who pay their utility bills online were affected by the breach.

Born said that as a precaution, the city created a new server while CentralSquare contacted the customers’ credit companies about potential fraudulent charges.

Four cities in Florida have been hit so far by the cyberattack stealing customers’ payment information.

CentralSquare acknowledged to Spectrum News 13 that "a small number of customers have reported unauthorized access."
