“• “Warren County continues to update its technology months after a country-wide “infiltration” hampered government computer systems.” • “The infiltration, which occurred in March, prevented some of the county’s departments from accessing information needed to perform certain tasks or sending and receiving email. The infiltration did not compromise county data stored on servers, officials said.” • “But the incident, which also affected private and public systems in other states, spurred the Warren County to upgrade its technology.” • “Supervisor Delores R. Oates asked Jones where the county stands on recovering data, such as old emails, lost. Jones said the process involves recovering old emails from the server and transferring that date to a person’s email account. Jones said the recovery process is about 80% complete.” • “The Technology Department has since updated a main computer system and trained employees on how to back up its data every night, Jones explained. The county has upgraded its phone system, Jones said. The department also completed work to connect Energov with the county’s geographic information system, which will help the building inspections department to perform its duties. The technology department has also reviewed security systems and accessibility. The county also is forming an information technology committee made up of members from each department.” “
