Ransomware cripples Jackson County Sheriff's Office network

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office in Indiana confirmed that ransomware disabled its entire computer network in March 2026. Computers, Wi-Fi and the police-report system were unavailable, dispatchers used computers at the Seymour Police Department and staff relied on manual workarounds while systems were wiped, rebuilt and replaced. The exact attack date was not publicly identified; the 27 March disclosure date is used as the best available date.
