“• “The state of Iowa’s job-search website remains inoperative, more than two weeks after the system fell victim to a cyberattack. On June 26, the IowaWorks.gov website went down due to an apparent cyberattack aimed at Geographic Solutions Inc., or GSI…” • “According to IWD, the cyberattack has had no impact on the payment of unemployment benefits to Iowans, but has disrupted Iowans’ weekly submission of ongoing unemployment claims and impeded the job-search process for claimants.” • “The agency has said that in order to avoid any delays in processing unemployment benefits, it has implemented a method of bypassing the normal process of submitting claims.” • “IWD hopes its website will be back up in the near future, but currently there is “no firm timetable for restoring IowaWORKS.gov to public use,” Dougherty said.” “
