Junction City offices and Geary County Sheriff’s Department have been without email service since early this past week.

Junction City Manager Allen Dinkel told JCPost.com that they got hit with a hacker either late Monday or early Tuesday morning. “Everything else got restored as far as our utilities and everything else, but our email has been out since Tuesday.”

Efforts have been under way to make repairs and restore the service. Dinkel stated, “It hasn’t been that bad. If you send an email to use it gets kicked back to you. ” Dinkel noted they could either return to faxing information or just calling on the telephone. “I don’t know if it’s been a big issue. You worry about missing stuff but it is what it is and you can’t change it.”

The Sheriff’s Department is without email service because they utilize the same server as the City.
