TL;DR Summary

Fulton County's voter registration system has been isolated from the state's system after a cyberattack hit the county government, affecting its phones, courts, and tax systems. The attack, which occurred over the weekend, did not seem to be linked to the upcoming election, but precautionary measures were taken. The county is working with a cybersecurity firm to investigate the incident and restore the systems, with the voter registration deadline for the primary approaching on Feb. 12. The cyberattack has not affected the case against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants over alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state.
