Here are the top three stories today in Sachem:
- New report shows Suffolk's IT department got millions for security before Sept. 8 cyberattack. News 12 obtained information that nearly $4 million was given to the IT department and allocated by the Legislature for technology upgrades, computer replacement and disaster recovery projects on March 8. Earlier this week, a special legislative committee was formed to investigate what cause the attack and how taxpayer money is used to prevent another attack. (Sachem Patch)
