The state of Georgia’s judicial system became the latest government victim of a ransomware attack last weekend that has disabled some of its digital services.
The infection was first discovered Saturday during a routine scan on the servers of the Administrative Office of the Courts, courts spokesman Bruce Shaw told StateScoop. The office relayed the finding to the Georgia Technology Authority, the statewide IT agency, and also receiving assistance from the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the FBI and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center.
