Cyberattack Disrupts Michigan’s Largest County; Detroit-area government services impacted by cyberattack

The Record reports:

Wayne County, Michigan is dealing with a cyberattack that has shut down all government websites and limited the operations of several offices. 

Home to Detroit, the county is the largest in the state with more than 1.75 million residents. 

County spokesperson Doda Lulgjuraj told Recorded Future News that the investigation into the cyber incident is ongoing. 

“Impacted services have been transitioned to backup processes to maintain operations. Barring any unforeseen issues, we expect the county website to be fully operational by the start of business on Friday,” he said. “This will restore access to online property tax payments and property records.”
