Gadsden County officials are still searching for answers to a data breach involving court documents. The Second Judicial Court reported the incident on Monday.

An initial assessment showed some of the records stolen contained "personal identifying information," but the extent of the breach remains unknown.

The circuit is forwarding inquiries to a recorded statement which are available on its website or by calling 850-606-4350
for updates:

“The second judicial circuit, the Gadsden County clerk of court and the office of the state courts administrator are cooperating with law enforcement to assist in the investigation.”

County court officials say residents looking to file documents may do so in person at their local courthouse or by visiting the state’s electronic portal on the web.
