HARRISBURG — The Office of Attorney General is providing an update regarding the cyber incident last month that impacted our agency.
As previously reported, the incident was the result of a malicious actor encrypting certain files in an attempt to compel our office to make a payment to restore operations. The office has not made any such payment.
An active investigation remains ongoing in coordination with partner agencies. While the sensitive nature of the investigation limits our ability to share specific details, a principal focus of the investigation is determining what information was involved in the incident.
At this time, a few individuals have been notified that their information may have been involved. Our office will continue to make notifications as appropriate.
The Office of Attorney General remains committed to protecting the information entrusted to us and providing updates concerning our response to the incident. Safeguarding the public’s trust and ensuring integrity of our operations are our highest priorities.
