CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Montgomery County’s government networks were taken down over the weekend during a “data security incident.”
While several websites were accessible to the public on Sunday, they had limited functionality.
“Access to the County’s network is currently unavailable as a result of a data security incident we recently discovered,” county spokeswoman Michelle Newell said in a statement Sunday morning. “We immediately implemented our response protocols and began an investigation. Cybersecurity experts who have worked with other organizations that have had similar issues have been engaged.
“We are working quickly to address the issue and restore operations. Law enforcement has been notified of the incident and will support the investigation. As part of our response to this incident, we will also look for opportunities to further enhance our existing security posture.”
Montgomery County Mayor Jim Durrett said in the statement that if service remains unavailable into Monday, county employees will find alternative ways to work.
“We understand this has been an inconvenience for our community and our employees. However, it is in our best interest to rely on experts who specialize in these types of incidents,” Durrett said.
Newell could not immediately respond to questions about the possible impact on public safety systems such as the Montgomery County Jail or the 911 Center, or confirm whether this is connected to the internet shutdown the county experienced on Friday.
