Despite reopening all courthouses, officials cautioned that “court users should expect delays and potential impacts due to limits in functionality.”
Pedestrians make their way past the Los Angeles County Superior Court Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Los Angeles, Tuesday, February 9, 2021. “As a result of the tireless work of court staff and security experts in the wake of a cyber-attack on the Court last week, the Court will reopen all 36 courthouses ,” the court said in a statement Monday evening.
“While the court continues to move swiftly towards a restoration and recovery phase, many critical systems remain offline as of Sunday evening. One additional day will enable the court’s team of experts to focus exclusively on bringing our systems back online so that the court can resume operations as expeditiously, smoothly and safely as possible.”
People who are scheduled for jury duty this week and listed in group numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 87 and 97 were instructed to report to the courthouse listed on their summons at 8 a.m. Tuesday. Soon after the hack was detected, the court’s Technology Services Division immediately shut down network computer systems “to mitigate further harm.”Court officials said the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, as well as local, state and federal law-enforcement agencies, were all participating in the investigation into the breach.
Over Labor Day weekend in September 2022, the Los Angeles Unified School District was the victim of a ransomware attack that was later reported to have been perpetrated by a Russia-based hacking syndicate called the Vice Society.
