Reading Time: 1 min read
in Incidents

Hinds County, Mississippi, continues to grapple with computer issues stemming from a recent cyberattack, leading to the closure of the tax collector’s office and the cancellation of jury duty for the week at the Circuit Clerk Office. County Administrator Kenny Wayne Jones confirmed that their systems and networks are currently undergoing assessment, a process that is both intricate and time-consuming.

Technical teams are diligently working to establish an alternative network to address the ongoing disruptions. Friday marked the second consecutive day that the Hinds County Tax Collector’s office, along with other state offices, had to shut down due to the cyberattack.

Residents who visited the office for services like renewing license plates were met with closed signs, leading to concerns about potential late fees and refund processes.

Despite the inconvenience, Hinds County Tax Collector Eddie Fair reassured residents that they would not face penalties due to the cyberattack.The situation highlights the growing impact of cyberattacks on local government services and the challenges involved in restoring systems and services following such incidents. County officials are actively addressing the issue to minimize disruptions and ensure that residents can access essential services without undue penalties or delays.
