MONTGOMERY CO., AL (WSFA) -The Montgomery County Commission confirmed Tuesday morning that it is fighting a ransomware attack on its computer systems that started around 5 p.m. Monday.
"We're terribly sorry for this inconvenience, but no personal information has been compromised," said Montgomery County Chief Information and Technology Officer, Lou Ialacci.
"However, due to the attack, the county's system has been locked up and services the county provides will be impacted, in particular, the Probate Office," the commission stated.
The commission said the probate office is currently unable to offer any services regarding vehicle tags and registration, as well as business and marriage licenses. The county's revenue and district attorney offices are also impacted by the attack.
The drivers' license system is still operational and the public safety 911 system is on an isolated network that has not been affected.
The FBI was contacted and has been working through the night on the issue, including trying to determine how the virus got into the system. The FBI believes it has an idea of the attack's origin but has not provided any details.
