Recently, the Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD) reported its systems were hacked after a ransomware attack the week of Nov. 7-11. The DCAD reported there’s still no telling when its systems will be back online, according to The Dallas Observer.

A Dallas television news station reported on Dec. 5 that the DCAD notified the City of Dallas that it will still be more than a week before it can launch a new limited website.

The website, servers and email for the DCAD were inaccessible after the entire system was attacked by hackers. DCAD, which appraises Dallas County properties for tax purposes, announced on social media that it was the victim of a ransomware attack, and it was working with authorities to get everything back online as soon as possible.

“We do not currently have a definite timeframe but expect it may take several days to rectify the system,” the DCAD wrote in a Facebook post. “We have followed the advice of authorities and have not contacted the perpetrator(s).”

On Monday, Nov. 14, the system was still down, and an employee with DCAD reported there weren’t any updates on the situation.

DCAD spokeswoman Cheryl Jordan told media outlets since the attack happened the district has been working “around the clock” to get its system back online.

When the DCAD website went down, the district informed people they can still use the state comptroller’s property tax transparency website to find property ownership and value information.

This is just one of the latest cyberattacks to hit the North Texas area in recent years, the news article stated.
