Georgia’s Fulton County, including parts of Atlanta, is experiencing an ongoing cyberattack that has paralyzed government systems, disrupting access to court filings, tax processing, and other services.
The county’s District Attorney, Fani Willis, lost access to phones, the internet, and the court system website. Willis indicted former President Donald Trump in a 2020 election subversion case, although no link between the attack and the case has been declared.
