Return To ArticleAn unidentified “cyber incident” breached Chatham County’s communication systems Wednesday, County Manager Dan LaMontagne said.
The attack rendered the government’s network, email and phone lines “inoperable for an undetermined amount of time,” LaMontagne said in an email to The News & Observer.
“We are working with law enforcement and support agencies so we can recover from this incident as soon as possible. Our priority is to restore our systems in a secure manner and maintain the provision of critical services,” he said.
