Fulton County Cyber Breach Unaffected Trump Election Case
TL;DR
Fulton County, Georgia experienced a widespread system outage due to a cybersecurity incident, affecting court, tax, and phone systems, but the district attorney's office assured that the racketeering case against Donald Trump remains unaffected as it is stored in a separate secure system. The outage has drastically affected the prosecutor's office operations, hindering their work, and the Atlanta police department has also limited email communication with the district attorney's office due to concerns about their systems. The FBI is investigating the breach, and there is no estimated timeline for the repair of the outage.
