How long will the battle for the Los Angeles judicial system last?
On July 22, all 36 courts of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, the largest trial court in the United States, closed to restore systems after the ransomware attack that occurred on July 19.
The attack, which has not yet been announced by any known hacker group, affected the entire network of the Los Angeles Supreme Court. Both external systems (the MyJuryDuty portal and the court's website) and internal case management systems were affected. Many of the court's systems are still unavailable. To restore the main networks, it took the closure of ships for one day. The court is confident that the closure will not exceed one day, as the restoration work is going well.
The attack became known on July 20. Then the court said that the hacking began early in the morning on July 19. After detecting the attack, LASC was forced to immediately shut down all network systems in order to localize the breach. Affected devices are likely to remain offline until at least July 23, when they are restored and reconnected to the network.
The court found no evidence of data compromise on the affected systems. LASC is working with the California Governor's Office of Emergency Management (CALOES), as well as local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident and assess the impact. It is also noted that the incident is not related to the global Windows crash that occurred after the failed CrowdStrike update.
The Los Angeles Superior Court has more than 4,800 employees and operates 36 courthouses in 26 cities in Los Angeles County, serving more than 10 million citizens.
