Specialist cybersecurity experts have flown into Moranbah today from Brisbane to investigate.

Council CEO Jeff Stewart-Harris PSM said on advice from the cybersecurity experts, systems have been locked down to safeguard information as a precaution.

"Safeguarding customer and employee information is highly important to us.

"Once we receive information from the specialist team, we will update the community."
