On August 18, 2019, the organization's official website was compromised by hackers identifying themselves as the Iranian group "Mamad Warning." The attackers defaced the site with an image of a Guy Fawkes mask accompanied by a threatening message claiming access to personal information. Visitors who clicked the mask image were redirected to the attackers' Instagram profile. County officials confirmed that no resident data was breached, noting that sensitive information resided on isolated systems protected by firewalls. The county's IT department restored the webpage promptly, emphasizing their defensive training and referencing specialized intelligence units for potential offensive countermeasures. The incident was part of a broader trend of similar website breaches targeting local government websites by Iranian-linked actors during the same period.
