Committee hears update requests on ongoing cyber incident affecting court e-filing; no new details released
Summary
Members queried staff about an ongoing attack that has disrupted court e-filing; staff said there was no substantive update to share but reported that most e-filing functionality has been or will be restored, and the committee was told it would be kept informed.
During the DuPage County Technology Committee meeting, members asked for an update on an ongoing attack that has affected county systems, including circuit-court e-filing. Committee staff said there was no new, shareable update at the time and that they would provide information as they were able and allowed.
A staff member said they had been "told by a judge" that most e-filing functionality has been restored or would be shortly, and the committee discussed limits on what staff could disclose while the investigation and any legal proceedings continue. Committee members noted some functionality remained limited: one participant said they still could not look up filings.
No formal action, directive or vote was taken at the meeting on the cyber incident; the committee recorded the exchange as part of old business. Committee members asked staff to keep the committee updated as information becomes available. The transcript records questions from committee members and staff responses but does not provide technical details about the nature of the attack, affected systems beyond e-filing, timelines for full restoration, or any external agencies involved.
