The Kansas court system requires a minimum of $2.6 million in additional funds to recover from a cyberattack in October.
The attack, attributed to a Russian ransomware group, disrupted the electronic filing of documents and online access to records.
Chief Justice Marla Luckert outlined the funds’ purpose, including restoring computer systems, paying vendors, enhancing cybersecurity, and hiring three cybersecurity officials. The total cost may increase, excluding recovery and notification expenses. The attack prompted the need for a new firewall, software, and hardware.

The legislature, controlled by Republicans, must approve the funding, with Democratic Governor Laura Kelly’s endorsement required. Additionally, Governor Kelly is seeking $1.5 million for a cybersecurity operations center and data protection measures.
