St. Clair County Commission Chairman Paul Manning said the county is a victim of a cyberattack, but no data has left the system.
The county started taking steps right once to minimise and fix any compromised hardware or software.
The attack will cause some annoyances for the general public over the next days, but county management and its employees are working closely with cyber-security experts to restore the county to a fully functional condition.
No request has been made, according to Manning, and none will be. St. Clair County will cooperate with all relevant law enforcement agencies to track down the attackers.
