Summary
Tuesday evening, Greenfield Communications said internet service was coming back online in Rancho Murieta and parts of Sacramento County after a nearly 48-hour outage.
Sunday's disruption stemmed from a denial-of-service attack, in which a malicious actor overwhelmed network operations and knocked customers offline through Tuesday afternoon.
Rancho Murieta residents said the prolonged outage forced them onto phone hotspots and coffee-shop connections to keep working over the weekend.
The blackout also hit local businesses: Rancho Murieta Country Club lost phone service, online tee-time bookings and card-payment capability at its restaurant.
