Officials then announced a new website that shows the status of each office affected. As of 11:25 a.m. on Friday, all county offices except for Child Support have been reopened.

A number of them remain limited in the services officered including the county Assessor, Auditor, Clerk of Court, Election office, and Recorder.

County officials have not disclosed how various systems and offices were brought back online, or if any money has been paid to the attackers.
