Hi all, Lincolnshire County Council has, one day ago, been hit with a serious attack on their I T system caused by an infected e mail . They reacted very quick and shut the system down resulting in loss of e mail use in and out and within LCC. Lincolnshire Archives is part of LCC and Lincs to the Past is under Archives control. LCC sent many people home due to this problem and yesterday were using only telephones within organisation. According to local radio they are testing the fix. The possible infection could have wiped out all their files according to local news. Hope that helps.
