Fulton County recently detected suspicious activity on our network that has led to widespread system outages.
Fulton County immediately informed local and federal law enforcement and engaged outside experts to investigate and assist in the recovery process. It is important to note that there is no evidence or reason to believe that this incident is related to the election process or other current events.
We are aware that an unauthorized third party is publicly claiming responsibility for the recent cybersecurity incident affecting Fulton County’s systems.
The investigation is ongoing at this time. There is evidence that suggests this incident was the result of a ransomware incident caused by financially motivated actors. Unfortunately, incidents like these are on the rise across the United States and the world, particularly affecting local governments.
Fulton County is working closely with law enforcement to continue our investigation and verify the validity of these claims.
The safety and privacy of our citizens is of utmost importance, and we are taking this situation very seriously as our team continues to investigate.
We are committed to a comprehensive investigation, and our teams are working to understand what specific information may have been affected as a result of this incident. If we determine sensitive personal information was involved in this incident, we will notify those parties in accordance with legal requirements and provide resources to help protect their information.
While the investigation continues, Fulton County is continuing to address operations affected by the widespread system outage.
