Hong Kong DSC Hit By Ransomware Attack

Alabama is investigating a cybersecurity event that may affect access to state websites and online services. Governor Kay Ivey confirmed the incident and asked residents to remain patient during ongoing technical disruptions. The event was discovered on May 9, prompting a continuous response by the state’s Office of Information Technology. A dedicated website has been set up to provide updates as the investigation continues.

Initial findings revealed some compromised state employee usernames and passwords, according to Ivey’s statement to the public. However, officials believe no personally identifiable information belonging to residents has been accessed so far. The attack’s scope remains unclear, and authorities have not identified the perpetrators behind the intrusion. All state workers have been urged to be cautious about suspicious emails that may be phishing attempts.

The Office of Information Technology has partnered with a third-party cybersecurity firm to investigate and limit further damage. State officials are working around the clock to assess system vulnerabilities and strengthen digital defenses. The governor’s office stated that the investigation is still in its early stages. As of Tuesday morning, there were no additional public updates from state officials regarding the incident.

Cyberattacks targeting state and local governments are growing more frequent across the United States. Past cases involved various public agencies in Rhode Island, Oregon, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Municipal systems in Abilene and Mission, Texas, have also faced recent cyber disruptions. The Alabama incident follows this national trend of escalating digital threats against government institutions.
