"Voter Registration System Taken Offline in Coffee County Cyber-Incident"
Coffee County in Georgia has been hit by a cyberattack, reportedly leading to its connection to the state's voter registration system being severed. In a statement, the Office of Coffee County Board of Commissioners said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) informed the County of unusual cyber activity on its IT infrastructure on April 15, 2024. An investigation revealed cyber activity by "an unknown malicious actor(s)." The County noted that there is currently no evidence that any data/files held by the County were exfiltrated. Coffee County is now working with federal authorities to identify how the incident took place and the identities of the actors responsible.
