City coffers in Middletown, Ohio, haven't received water payments from residents since mid-August, when a cyberattack disrupted certain municipal tech systems. The city council voted to transfer $800,000 to cover missing water revenue that normally is distributed to garbage collection and regional transportation. Water revenue systems are expected to be recovered in January and residents' payments collected since the hack will be used to repay the $800,000. (WCPO)
