"Fulton County Cyberattack: Government Systems Remain Down"

A cyberattack has caused a widespread system outage in Georgia’s Fulton County, affecting court filings, tax processing, and other services. The District Attorney's office, which indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants in a 2020 election subversion case, lost access to phones, internet, and the court system website. The FBI is in contact with Fulton County's IT department, and ransomware attacks have been a persistent issue for state and local governments, often causing significant financial and operational disruptions.
