Chelan County’s networks have been hacked by malware. This impacts all departments within Chelan County government. As a precaution, we have shut down our network, computers and telephone system across all departments. Our IT department is working closely with our security partners to bring the system back up; however, we have no timeline on when this will happen.
The malware was detected at about 10 a.m. this morning by Chelan County IT. At this time, we do not know the extent or the full scope of the damage. Because offices are closed on Monday, we expect to have an update for you on Tuesday.
If you have an emergency, you can call Rivercom 911. This problem should not slow down responses to calls by the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office. Everbridge notifications are still active but may have slight delays because we will be going through a third party.
If you have critical business with one of our departments, please come in and speak with someone in that department during our regular hours.
