Gov. Tim Walz has activated the Minnesota National Guard to assist St. Paul in responding to a cyberattack on the capital city on Tuesday.

In response to a cyberattack, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz issued an emergency executive order bringing National Guard soldiers to active duty.

Sometimes, though, the hacks hit harder than usual. That was the case in St. Paul, Minnesota, which suffered a significant cyberattack last Friday that it has been unable to mitigate. Things have gotten so bad that the city has declared a state of emergency, while the governor activated the National Guard to assist.
