Yellowstone County was recently forced to take its website offline due
to hacking. The county hired James Holmes, a data forensics examiner
from Butte, who works at At-a Data. Holmes has been examining the
website since Monday and can confirm multiple hacking attempts have
been made.

Holmes can't reveal many details about what exactly the hackers did to
the Yellowstone County website yet, but what could have they had
access to? "Typically, on a county government website, you might find
death records, birth records, tax payment information. Those would be
the most significant things," Holmes said.
