Fulton County, Georgia, the state's largest county, is still in the process of repairing the damage caused by a cyberattack that occurred in late January. The ransomware syndicate LockBit claimed responsibility for the attack, which disrupted government services and threatened to release sensitive data unless a ransom was paid.
The hackers targeted the county's systems, causing phone lines to go down and preventing clerks from issuing vehicle registrations and marriage licenses. They also claimed to have stolen data related to a pending criminal case against former President Donald Trump.
