Ransomware Attack Forces Texas Court Servers Offline
Government Technology
(TNS) — Texas courts shut down websites and disabled servers late last week in response to a ransomware attack, the Office of Court Administration announced Monday.
System administrators discovered early Friday that hackers had taken over at least a portion of the statewide court network and demanded something in return for restoring control. The administration runs the information technology services for Texas appellate courts and state judicial agencies, including the Texas courts website.
The court system is working with state law enforcement to investigate the breach and vowed not to pay any ransom.
“At this time, there is no indication that sensitive information, including personal information, was compromised,” a press release states.
