Mexico-Audrain County Library District Resumes Some Services Following Ransomware Attack

One of the main systems affected by last week’s ransomware attack on the Mexico -Audrain County Library District is back in service.

The circulation system is now available again which will allow patrons to check materials out without staff using pencil and paper to track circulation.

However, that has caused a backlog of data entry that needs to be done to put a week’s worth of circulation into the system.

The Mexico branch is closed today (Wednesday) to input all of their data while the outlying branches will continue to use manual methods today before their data entry begins tomorrow.

One other system that vendors are working to restore is the e-service module and they hope to have that restored by the end of the week.
