Risk management company Crisis24 has confirmed its OnSolve CodeRED platform suffered a cyberattack that disrupted emergency notification systems used by state and local governments, police departments, and fire agencies across the United States.

The CodeRED platform enables these agencies to send alerts to residents during emergencies.

The cyberattack forced Crisis24 to decommission the legacy CodeRED environment, causing widespread disruption for organizations that use the platform for emergency notifications, weather alerts, and other sensitive warnings.
