An unspecified security incident is forcing many state courts across Kansas to rely on paper filings, and it may have continue to do so for weeks, a state judge has warned.
The Kansas Supreme Court issued a brief notice that it was “experiencing network issues” on Thursday, October 12, and a short time later the same day said it was turning off its eFiling system until Sunday, October 15, “to give the judicial branch time to examine a security incident.”
“Courts are open and operating, but clerks cannot receive electronic filings or electronic payments. All filings must be on paper or by fax. Paper filings can be hand delivered or sent by mail,” The Register is told by the Kansas Judicial Branch.
