Hackers attack Wisconsin court system computer network

Hackers have attacked the Wisconsin court system’s computer network, according to a report from the Associated Press.

A cyberattack began early this week, according to a statement from court officials. Network users may have experienced intermittent service or slower than usual response times from online services, court officials said. Asked when the attack began and if it’s still ongoing, courts spokesman Tom Sheehan said in an email that he had no further information.

Director of State Courts Randy Koschnick said in the statement that the court system has taken effective counter measures but did not elaborate.
