Washington courts grapple with statewide outage after 'unauthorized activity'

Washington State courts are experiencing a statewide IT outage attributed to "unauthorized activity," causing intermittent unavailability of public websites and court systems; officials have taken systems offline as a precaution and are working with outside experts to restore services. Municipal courts that rely on the state case management system are most affected, and the report notes a similar cybersecurity incident in San Joaquin County, California causing service disruptions.
