Information systems of state courts across Kansas are still offline after they've been disrupted in what the Kansas judicial branch described last Thursday as a "Security incident."
Multiple systems crucial to daily court operations across the state have been impacted, including the Kansas Courts' eFiling system used by attorneys to submit case documents, the electronic payments system, and the case management systems employed by district and appellate courts for case processing.
In response to the situation, the state's Supreme Court issued an administrative order today, confirming that clerk offices in appellate courts and most district courts are offline.
"The Supreme Court took this action to give the judicial branch time to examine a security incident that has disrupted access to court systems."
