The Seminole County Clerk of Court is still working
to get back online after a cyber attack
two weeks ago. And that has some people scrambling.
Larissa Leone is live in Seminole County tonight
with the latest. Larissa?
Manny Luan, the clerk says that your data is safe, which is a good
thing, but the changes to the website
and the closed doors are causing headaches for some
Seminole County residents.
We have a wedding coming up Saturday and I'm kind of having
a problem here trying to get information for application for marriage.
Mark Ellis is on the clock.
His daughter's wedding is this Saturday and the date is locked
in because her fiancé is in the military and deploys soon.
I've been to four places yesterday and today.
And
The door is locked. Those locked branch doors
are the fallout of a cyber attack. The clerk of
court says the hack was caught early
and it was traced back to a global security flaw in a coding
language used by millions of websites worldwide.
Now they're working on getting everything back
online and functioning normally.
But for right now, there are some changes. We have all the
services open here at the Criminal Justice Center
on Esslinger Boulevard. We've moved recording over
over here.
Any services you need, we can do 100%.
Some branches are still closed,
funneling anything that needs to be done in person
to the main Criminal Justice Center in Sanford.
We're working on the website presence now.
We've put tax deeds up there, tax deed sales.
We're working on foreclosure sales.
We want to have court records and official records up this week.
And we also have payments back online.
Now, tomorrow is Veterans Day,
which means that all branches will be closed to respect the holiday.
But moving forward, if you have a citation, a ticket, anything like
that, and it's due in November, all late fees will be held.
You won't get charged for them for the whole month,
but after November, everything will pick up from normal.
As far as the website and everything kind
of getting back to normal for the clerk of court,
that's not expected to take place for a couple of weeks.
