Delaware County Network Outage Disrupts Courthouse Filings for 5 Days as Phones and Internet Fail
1 articles · Updated · WPVI-TV · Jun 30
Summary
Friday's network disruption was still blocking some Delaware County courthouse business on Tuesday, with residents reporting motions could not be filed and hearings were being handled out of order.
Multiple county offices — including the Sheriff's Office, District Attorney's Office, veterans affairs and libraries — said phones and internet were unavailable, extending delays across services.
County officials said critical services remain operational, but some Register of Wills appointments may need rescheduling and library users must bring physical cards because systems remain down.
No cause or restoration timeline has been given, drawing comparisons to Delaware County's November 2020 ransomware attack, when hackers stole data and the county paid $25,000 to regain control.
