Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General recovering from cyber incident
The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General announced Monday that, following the cyber incident last week, access is being restored to employee email accounts.
Outages affected the website and disabled office email accounts and landline phones.
The website was rebooted early Wednesday afternoon but still had outages on the home improvement contractor registration and information pages. The website was not fully accessible again until Monday, according to a news release.
Attorney General Dave Sunday said in the release that the process of reconnecting employees with their email is expected to be completed within the coming days.
The release also said that work on the phone lines is underway and the office continues to navigate additional impacts from the incident.
”Our top priorities have been to continue to work on behalf of Pennsylvanians, and to be able to stay in communication with our constituents and communities as we do so,” Sunday said.
The Office of Attorney General was unable to be reached for immediate comment.
It was unclear Monday what the expected timeline is for everything to be fully restored and what the additional impacts of the outage were.
