Murray County government has released the following statement regarding the recent cyber attack:

"Murray County is pleased to announce that the ransomware attack on the County computer network has been resolved and the County is in the process of securely restoring systems from existing County backups. At this time, most County systems are operational, and steps have been taken to strengthen system security.

"After careful consideration and guidance from a team of nationally recognized third-party cybersecurity and data forensic consultants, we made the difficult decision to pay a $200,000 fee because we believed it was the necessary approach to best serve the interests of County residents and employees. We felt strongly that this was necessary to prevent the publication of County data and give some peace of mind to our residents.

"Due to a history of conservative spending and careful investment of County funds, the County’s reserves, held for unexpected events or downturns in the economy, allowed for the payment of this fee with minimal impact on operations, payroll, or pending projects. The County’s 2026 budget was unaffected by this incident.

"While Murray County has for years invested in the security of its digital data and computer network, this incident has shown that criminal actors pose an on-going threat to computer network systems. We want to assure the citizens of Murray County that aggressive measures have been and will continue to be taken to minimize the risk of a similar event occurring again in Murray County. We extend our appreciation to our fellow elected officials and the public for its support and patience during this incident."
