The Kansas Judicial Branch plans to restore most online court systems by the end of the year, following a foreign cyberattack. Officials disconnected online Kansas Court Services more than six weeks ago, after what they say was a sophisticated foreign cyber attack. That attack disrupted court operations in nearly every Kansas county.
Officials now have a plan for bringing the systems back online but say it’ll take several weeks. Kansas Supreme Court Justices say hackers stole court data and potentially confidential case records, threatening to post it to the dark web. They say they’re consulting with cybersecurity experts and will notify impacted Kansans.
