The Champaign County Clerk’s Office is experiencing connectivity and server performance issues after experiencing what it alleges was a 'cyber-attack.'
"The Champaign County Clerk’s Office is aware of connectivity issues and computer server performance being impacted," the clerk's office announced Tuesday via social media."The Clerk’s Office believes these are due to cyber-attacks on the network and servers."
The post went on to inform readers that these were not the first issues at the office, saying that the clerk's office has experienced repeated DDoS attacks for the past month."For the past month the Champaign County Clerk’s website has been the target of repeated D-DOS attacks, fortunately the reinforced security and response from the Clerk’s IT team has prevented these attacks from being successful and the Clerk's website has remained secured," the post reads.
"These cyber-attacks are a strategic and coordinated effort to undermine and destabilize our democratic process," the post states."The intent is to discourage you from voting. Please do not fall victim to this. The Clerk's Office is committed to ensuring every eligible voter in Champaign County has access to a fair, free, and accessible election. Please stay in line!"
