“The Lawrence County Recorder's Office has been dealing with one of its vendors getting hit with a cyber attack.“
“On Saturday, Lawrence County Recorder Sharon Gossett Hager posted to Facebook that the FBI and Homeland Security were investigating a cyber attack aimed at Cott Systems, a Columbus-based company that provides government agencies with public records management software. “
“"As of now, there is no access to deeds, mortgages or other records filed electronically with the recorder's office," Gossett Hager posted. "While the investigation is being completed, they are also working with us to identify ways to securely rebuild processes and restore functionality. There are many steps involved in the recovery from this cyber-attack." It is the responsibility of the Recorder's Office to make a complete, accurate and permanent record of every document pertaining to the conveyance and encumbrance of land within Lawrence County. They also enforce more than 1,000 sections of the state law in the Ohio Revised Code pertaining to their duties.“
“"In an abundance of caution, we disconnected all of our servers to isolate that activity within our environment," the company said. "We then immediately engaged cyber specialists to investigate the event and they began a forensic analysis. It has been determined that Cott Systems is the victim of an organized cyber-attack." “
