Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Madison County Board of Supervisors revealed during a special meeting Thursday morning that they were part of a “cybersecurity attack.” The board voted 2-1 to refer the matter to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and the attorney general’s office. This follows the board’s decision in March to outsource its IT department. The Madison County Sheriff’s Office said the issue involves access to security cameras. According to the meeting agenda, the board had planned to motion for a closed session to discuss the matter. However, they ultimately decided not to enter a closed session. Madison County Board Supervisor Diane Fitch confirms with KCCI that the sheriff or county attorney had been contacted about a breach by their IT service. Both the DCI and the attorney general’s office said they have not yet received a complaint regarding the issue. KCCI has reached out to the other two board members, Heather Stancil and Jessica Hobbs, for further details on the breach. No response has been received so far.<\/p>\n
