CNN —An ongoing cyberattack against Georgia’s Fulton County, which includes parts of Atlanta, has brought some of the government’s systems to a standstill, halting access to court filings, tax processing and other services.
The office of the county’s District Attorney Fani Willis lost access to its phones, internet and the court system website, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.
The communication, court and tax systems have all been brought down, said Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chairman Robb Pitts in a news briefing Monday.
A source with first-hand knowledge in Fulton County told CNN the internet and Odyssey court access are down as well.
“We at Fulton County take cybersecurity seriously and we place a high priority on the protection of sensitive information,” Pitts said.
