The notorious LockBit gang promised a Georgia court leak 'that could affect the upcoming US election.” It didn't materialize—but the story may not be over yet.

An official who picked up the phone at the county's publicly listed phone line tells WIRED the outage had begun as early as late January. But a county government spokesperson declined a request for more information on the attack.
