Dallas County officials said Tuesday that a cyber attack they now confirm was detected on October 19 has been contained with no closure of services.
However, concerns remain about protecting the personal information of employees and evidence for court cases.
Price said county people have been working to address the problems, and outside experts investigating the issues have given positive feedback to the response. “Clearly, there is increase on this, and one reason is it’s easier now. Almost everyone is connected,” Kantarcioglu said. “Increasingly local governments are targeted by cyber-attacks.”
