Officials from the Superior Court of Los Angeles County have confirmed that a ransomware attack has caused the shutdown of the computer system of the largest trial court in the country. The cyberattack was detected early on Friday and prompted the court to disable its computer network systems as a precautionary measure.
It has been clarified that this ransomware incident is not linked to the recent issues caused by a faulty CrowdStrike software update that has affected various sectors such as airlines, hospitals, and governments globally. The court has assured that a preliminary investigation indicates no evidence of compromised user data at this time.
