MONROE — Green County officials continue to investigate a network interruption that has impacted its systems in various departments throughout the county. In early February a disruption caused county government phones and internet to go down. For more than a week, county workers have had to scramble and improvise while many of the systems are offline.

“Upon learning of the incident, Green County took certain systems offline out of an abundance of caution and began a thorough investigation with leading information security professionals,” said Green County Clerk Arianna Voegeli Feb. 13 in a brief statement updating the investigation. “Our investigation is still ongoing, but at this time we cannot say for certain what information or data — if any — has been impacted as a result. Our primary focus remains on a safe and efficient remediation process in the restoration of our systems.”

Voegeli said the upcoming election will not be effected by the outage. 

The Green County Sheriff’s Office, which uses a separate government communications network, was not effected by the disruption.
