ONGOING INVESTIGATION WILL ASSESS FULL IMPACT OF THE ATTACK ON OUR SYSTEMS AND SERVICES

This weekend the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas was subject to a cybersecurity attack to its data centers. The Unified Government has been working diligently to restore services and data access.

We encourage community members to continue to check out our website wycokck.org or call 3-1-1 for updates on services impacted.

This is a fluid situation with an ongoing assessment of the damage underway. We are actively working with the US Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Mid-America Regional Council cybersecurity task force to determine what data, if any, may have been compromised.

We anticipate some services may be impacted.  The Unified Government website is still accessible, and we will be providing updates as they are available.
