RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) &#8211; Most Pennington County public-facing offices will be closed Monday as officials respond to a cybersecurity incident affecting portions of the county\u2019s network. County officials said the closures will allow staff to assess the situation and safely restore affected systems. Several essential services will remain operational, including 911 Dispatch, the Pennington County Jail, the Juvenile Services Center, the Care Campus and other public safety operations. Court operations, the 24\/7 Program and early voting at the Pennington County Auditor\u2019s Office will also continue as scheduled from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents needing vehicle registration services can still use South Dakota\u2019s online registration portal or self-service kiosks. County officials said the full scope of the cybersecurity incident is still being determined. Pennington County is working with the South Dakota National Guard Cyber Incident Response Team, the South Dakota Fusion Center, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and other partners as the investigation continues. Because the investigation remains active, officials said they have limited verified information available at this time. The county expects to provide its next public update by 11 a.m. Monday.See a spelling or grammatical error in our story?
