DeKalb County officials said Monday night that work is still underway to restore the county government’s computer systems following last week’s cyber incident.
In a statement, the county said the Commissioners, Attorney, Auditor, Information Technology Department, and Emergency Management are working closely with outside contractors to bring systems back online.
The incident was first detected on September 25, 2025, when the Information Technology Department discovered issues preventing county staff from logging into their workstations. The IT Director immediately notified Jason Meek, Director of Emergency Management, and response efforts began.
“Emergency Management, Information Technology, the County Commissioners, Attorney, and Auditor began working collectively to inform law enforcement, cybersecurity officials, and respond to the incident,” the county said. Outside specialists were brought in on Thursday and have been assisting since then.
Officials emphasized that while systems and phones remain limited, the 911 Central Communications Center has continued to operate without disruption to ensure public safety.
The county noted that the investigation is ongoing, and no further details are available at this time. Updates will be provided once information is confirmed.
“We truly appreciate the support and patience of the public and our employees as we continue to work through this cyber incident,” the statement said.
