Fulton County, Georgia has been hit with a cyberattack, said Robb Pitts, chairman of the county’s board of commissioners.

An unexpected outage has downed the county’s phone systems and brought certain online transactions to a halt, including those filing property tax, firearms and marriage licenses, the county said in a statement posted on its website. Most offices were also unable to accept phone calls, officials said. 

County officials, along with the FBI and Georgia Bureau of Investigation will hold an emergency press conference Monday, Pitts told Bloomberg News. The specific nature of the incident wasn’t immediately clear. Government websites often are the subject of distributed denial-of-service attacks, in which they are flooded with internet traffic and temporarily disabled. 

Fulton County is the setting of Georgia’s 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump. His lawyers have asked that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis be disqualified over allegations of an improper relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor Willis hired to assist with that criminal case. Trump is facing more than a dozen charges for alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.
