“A “cybersecurity incident” on Thanksgiving caused a disruption to certain computer systems, including the county’s website and some services. “
“As of Friday at 7:30 p.m., the disruption was affecting some capabilities at the Emergency Communications Center, but Danielle Weaver, Washington County Public Relations and Marketing Director, said in a news release that it was not affecting people’s ability to report an emergency. “
“Weaver said Washington County responded to the incident by starting an investigation with the help of third-party specialists, not only to look into the source of the issue and to confirm the affect on computer systems, but to restore county services fully as soon as possible. “
