ST PAUL, Minn. — St. Paul is under a state of emergency as local, state and federal agencies coordinate a response to a cyberattack that began on Friday. While the full scope of the breach remains unclear, officials said on Tuesday that they have taken steps to limit potential damage by taking numerous city services offline.
