A breach of Chester County government’s computer system via an internet bug led to intense work by county computer specialists over the Presidents Day weekend, but apparently has not led to any compromise of users’ information, a county spokesperson said Tuesday.
The malware breach was detected on Thursday. In the early afternoon Friday, county employees were instructed not to open any attachments in emails that were in their county accounts.

In addition, the county decided to restrict what county employees can use their county-owned computers for — disallowing any personal use during work time to pay bills, read non-work emails, or visit personal websites.

“The need to set and maintain extremely tight controls relating to cyber security means that county policy regarding ‘incidental and occasional brief personal use of the internet’ has been revised,” according to the instructions. “County employees are no longer able to use the internet/access websites for personal purposes via the county network.”
