Cyber attack could keep county servers down for days

Posted on May 30, 2019 by Dissent

On Wednesday morning, county Administrative Services Division Head David Parsnik said the clean-up process may take several days to complete.

By the afternoon, the administration sent workers an email indicating the servers may be shut down until Monday to “properly remediate any damage caused by the recent virus introduced into our system.”
