Fulton County officials are investigating whether any personal information was leaked during a cyberattack on local government systems in late January.

During a news conference, County Board of Commissioners Chairman Robb Pitts said a dark web site believed to be operated by multinational ransomware gang LockBit 3.0 claimed responsibility for the hack and is threatening to leak stolen data if ransom demands aren't met.
