The Alaska Court System (ACS) was forced to temporarily disconnect its online servers this week due to a cyberattack that installed malware on their systems, disrupting virtual court hearings.
According to a statement put out by the ACS on Saturday, the court’s website had been taken offline and the ability to search court cases had been suspended while it worked to remove malware that had been installed on its servers and in order to “stop any additional incursions.”
The ACS noted that it was working with an undisclosed cybersecurity company to investigate the breach but stressed that no confidential documents, employee information or credit card information had been compromised.
