The attack was first identified on August 21 and efforts are still going to protect the network
A local council is working with the National Crime Agency after its IT systems and networks fell victim to a cyber attack.
Details about who launched the attack are not known, but St Helens residents have expressed concern about personal details like bank statements, home addresses and details about what schools their children attend being accessible. A spokesperson for the council has confirmed the council is working with a number of different agencies including the NCA - sometimes referred to as Britain's FBI - to investigate the hack.
"As part of this we have completed protective and preventative measures to protect services. This has impacted on how some of our services are being delivered, but we are working hard to adapt to the situation and work around these issues to limit the disruption experienced by our residents.
