Kansas courts' recovery from an October cyberattack on the eCourt case management system is slower than expected.

 The system, used for processing district courts cases, was one of several information systems affected by the October 12 cyberattack.

 The plan was to have courts in 104 counties back on the case management system by the end of the year. Local judicial districts that are back on-line include the 11th Judicial District of Cherokee, Crawford, and Labette counties and the 14th Judicial District of Chautauqua and Montgomery counties.

 System experts continue to identify and resolve issues that impact the recording of financial activities. Until those issues are resolved, courts using the case management system will stick to a paper receipting process. Electronic payments will resume once the system issues are addressed.

 In the meantime, the public can continue searching cases through a service center in the Kansas Judicial Center in Topeka or visit a district court that has recovered access. Individuals with business at a court clerk office should check the district court's website or contact the office to confirm their current hours of operation, noting that modified hours do not impact scheduled court appearances.
