A recent cyber event may have affected the security of some information maintained by Butler County.
County officials say they were alerted by federal law enforcement on October 2nd about suspicious activity on their computer network.
The county immediately began working with in a nationally recognized digital forensics team to secure and investigate. Later in the month, the county determined that an unauthorized actor accessed personally identifiable information maintained in the County’s network primarily related to criminal court proceedings.
County investigators are conducting an ongoing review of the impacted data. Upon completion, written notice and complimentary credit monitoring services will be provided to those affected.
The County will continue to monitor and strengthen systems, data, and network access but encourages those who may have been affected to pay close attention to financial accounts and credit reports.
