The website for Imperial County has been down for five days, due to a possible hacking, and has affected residents and staff.
Imperial County Superior Court in El Centro. The county's government website has been down for nearly a week.
The Imperial County government website system has been down for five days. And, according to a document obtained by The Times, it may have been hacked. A Ryuk ransomware note that appeared online following the incident warned that the system network had been penetrated and demanded payment in bitcoin.“No system is safe,” the message concluded. The Times was unable to reach county officials to comment on the ransomware message, which was provided to the newspaper by a source who did not want to be identified.
Staff members are working using Gmail accounts and communicating with the public via Facebook and Twitter. The online payment system through the treasurer and tax collector’s office has been affected, as has the Imperial County’s Department of Social Services, according to county posts on social media.
