TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Another attack on computers in Vigo County.

Computers at the sheriff’s office were infected with a malware virus over the weekend.

Sheriff John Plasse says his IT department is working on the issue.

The dispatch CAD system where they log the phone calls they receive was impacted and for a brief time, the phones were out completely.

Dispatchers said all the phone calls they could not get to were answered through Indiana State University and Parke County, who serve as back-ups.

The only other impact is a possible delay in email responses and the only impact you might see is a delay in email responses from his office, Plasse said.

Computers used by the Vigo Co. court system were hit last month in a similar attack.
