Chief Justice Marla Luckert delivered a judiciary address to members of the legislature recently, where she confirmed that Kansas was the target of a Russia-based ransomware group:
Kansas was asked to pay a ransom for a foreign cyberattack that crippled court systems statewide but, Luckert says the state did not pay Russian hackers to restore the court systems. Instead, cybersecurity experts, who she deemed cyber first responders have been working to rebuild and fortify the system, much of which is back online.
