Lee County computer system still down; virus attack follows trend

Cyber security experts say the attack on Lee County government's computer network could have been an attempt to extort money from the county, or it could have been an effort to get access to private information about employees and county residents.

The county's website, leegov.com, and computer network was brought down in an as-yet-unexplained attack Friday, and has been inaccessible since.
County officials have been mum on the issue since their impromptu Friday news conference, refusing to discuss whether Lee County is the victim of a high-tech ransomware shakedown. The hack does not appear to extend to other government sites and emergency services are said to be in full operation.

Lee County school officials say they have taken precautions against attacks that they believe are effective.
Even so, Trey Davis, the district’s chief information officer, said Lee schools are not immune.
