The Kansas Judicial Branch phased restoration of the Kansas E-Court Case Management System in District Courts continues, although at a slower pace than had been planned. District Courts in nine judicial districts, encompassing 39 counties, have had their access to the Case Management System restored as of yesterday. The only counties in the KOFO listening area that have been restored are Miami and Linn Counties. The restoration plan originally called for courts in 104 counties to be back on the Case Management System by the end of last week, but system performance slowed the effort.
The Case Management System is used by district courts to process cases. It is among several information systems temporarily incapacitated by an October 12th cyber attack that Governor Kelly has confirmed was a ransom ware attack. However, she would not comment on how much, if any ransom was paid to the attackers, or how much the state has had to spend to rebuild the system.
