The Cleveland Municipal Court is investigating a cyber incident that happened on Feb. 23, according to Deputy Court Administrator Mike Negray.
The court was closed Monday because of this and announced it will also be closed on Tuesday. According to Negray, the incident is still ongoing.
In a statement, Negray said the court shut down the systems affected as a precautionary measure while they focus on restoring services safely. He said it is unclear what the cause of the incident is.
He said the systems will stay offline until the court has a better understanding of the situation.
Negray said all internal systems and software platforms will be shut down until further notice. The court was closed on Monday for everyone except for essential staff members.
"We take cyber threats extremely seriously and are working expeditiously to rectify the situation as soon as possible," Negray said.
