A cyberattack has hit government phones, tax and court systems in Fulton County, Georgia.

Officials say the outage is affecting the district attorney's offices prosecuting former President Trump.

Apparently, the attack has disabled desktop phones, internet connectivity and devices using county servers in all departments, including those of DA Fani Willis.

Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chairman Robb Pitts says, "We do not yet have a specific time frame for when these systems will be restored."

Pitts added, “At this time, we are not aware of any transfer of sensitive information about citizens or employees, but we will continue to look carefully at this issue.”
