(MSC News)--The Kansas Office of Judicial Administration worked with a vendor to contact individuals whose personal information was accessed during an October 12 cybersecurity incident to provide them more information about the incident and resources that will be made available to them to protect themselves.
That's according to a release issued Monday, which says Chief Justice Marla Luckert, speaking on behalf of the Kansas Supreme Court, said the court is sorry these notifications are necessary, adding that that since the incident, the Office of Judicial Administration has put additional security controls in place and will continue to enhance its security controls in the future to reduce the possibility of future cybersecurity incidents.
Following the October 12 cybersecurity incident, the Office of Judicial Administration began working with cybersecurity experts to investigate what happened and what was affected. The investigation determined there had been unauthorized access to files stored on the Office of Judicial Administration network.
