The <a href=\"https:\/\/allencounty.us\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Allen County government website<\/a> appears to be back up and running.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>According to City of Fort Wayne Public Information Officer John Perlich, a disk failure in the webserver took down most City and County websites and online services. <strong>There was no security breach as the servers affected do not contain account information, only news releases, and department information.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When are the websites expected to be back up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We don\u2019t have an ETA at this time. Crews have been working diligently on this since the hardware failure. However, we have asked the technical team to prioritize the overall long-term security of our network over the fastest possible restoration of the websites. While this problem is challenging to all involved, it\u2019s trivial compared to a security breach. <strong>It\u2019s a disk failure, there\u2019s no security breach. These servers don\u2019t contain accounts, just information like news releases and department information.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s how the webservers work<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Our primary connection to the Internet is a hardened firewall. Firewalls keep the wide Internet from directly contacting any computer. This performs similarly to a home Internet router, but it\u2019s much more complex. Any internal servers are completely behind the firewall. This keeps accounts safe. But that also means residents can\u2019t see it either. To solve that, the firewall has a special limited access area. The City and County websites live in that special area. We don\u2019t place sensitive information there \u2013 sensitive information belongs completely behind the firewall. The servers in that special limited access area are what failed. The firewall blocks everything else, so we appear down to the outside world, but inside the firewall, everything is normal. The failure was complex enough we have to manually rebuild the servers from our backups. We\u2019re not going to rush that. We\u2019re going to be cautious and do it right.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/\">Return to the AroundFortWayne home page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='b2b71ebba9aff0a5dcdb7c04f9aefbc7' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
