The Shelby County government was hit with a cyber-attack. An overseas 3rd party attempted to access the county’s IT network.
SHELBY COUNTY — Shelby County government experienced a cyber attack on March 2. However, the county claims the bad actors were unable to access any of the county’s data.
“This access was detected and stopped by the Shelby County’s network administrator, who after restoring normal operations, began a review of the event and its potential impacts immediately,” said Abel in an email to WRTV.“So far, the investigation into the matter has not revealed sufficient evidence that would indicate the records were acquired by the unauthorized 3rd party,” said Abel.
“Our IT administrator has also made changes to the network itself, including removing the vulnerability and installing software to better track attempts of unauthorized access to the network,” said Abel.
