Hackers hit Matagorda County’s computer systems early Friday, encrypting files and disrupting county services in a ransomware attack. Officials say no personal data appears compromised, but all county computers are being examined. Authorities, including state and federal agencies, are investigating, and a disaster declaration was issued. The county is working with cybersecurity experts to restore operations, though the full impact is still unknown. Tax payments can still be made online, by mail, or in person. Officials urge patience, but details on the hackers’ demands remain undisclosed.
