Grayson Co. systems offline due to ransomware attack

SHERMAN, Tex. (KXII) – The state is investigating after Grayson County government systems were hit with a ransomware attack early Monday morning.

Information Technology Director Ken Miller says their records management system was down when employees got to work. He says they quickly found out several PC’s had a ransomware virus, so to be cautious, they shut down county phone lines, emails and everything online.

“Nothing like starting off a Monday completely off your routine,” Miller said.
