There was no word on how much the group is demanding. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a post on the dark web obtained by the CBS News Confirmed team the group, called Qilin, says it carried out the ransomware attack.<\/p>\n<p>According to screenshots from the group&#8217;s post, Qilin hackers have obtained contracts, inmate intake documents and expense information. The information posted so far doesn&#8217;t appear to be sensitive, and the OSPO stresses that no jail security operations have been impacted.<\/p>\n<p>The CBS News Confirmed team found the total volume of the alleged hack is 842 gigabytes \u2014 enough to hold 42,000 average-sized 20mb pdfs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The sheriff&#8217;s office says the attack has affected its &#8220;DocketMaster&#8221; system, which manages inmate transfers to and from jail for court appearances and manages inmate releases on bail.<\/p>\n<p>One woman in New Orleans, who didn&#8217;t want her name published, told CBS New Orleans affiliate WWL-TV she was frustrated after her husband wasn&#8217;t released from jail last week even though she paid his bond.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have two sons, four and six (years old). They miss their dad,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I did everything on my end to ensure that he comes home, so I feel like once everything is paid, everything is done, it shouldn&#8217;t be no hold up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OPSO officials say they&#8217;re using a manual workaround of the DocketMaster system outage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure continuity of service, OPSO has developed a temporary workaround,&#8221; a spokesperson wrote in a news release Monday. &#8220;Anyone needing information normally accessed through DocketMaster should call Jail Communications at (504) 202-9386 for assistance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The source close to the sheriff&#8217;s office said the attack stems from malware it got from another law enforcement agency via email.<\/p>\n<p>The <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/colorado\/news\/fbi-online-file-converter-malware-steal-private-information\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">FBI warned of increasing malware attacks in March<\/a><\/span>\u00a0after a media company was attacked in a similar fashion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to a cybersecurity firm called Recorded Future \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/www.recordedfuture.com\/research\/h1-2025-malware-and-vulnerability-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">cyberattacks exposing vulnerabilities are up 16% this year over last<\/a>\u00a0and the majority involve malware.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/www.ic3.gov\/AnnualReport\/Reports\/2023_IC3Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">And an FBI report says<\/a>\u00a0about 5.5% of ransomware incidents in 2023 involved government infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/kati-weis\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Kati  Weis<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Kati Weis is a Murrow Award-winning reporter for CBS News based in New Orleans, covering the Southeast.
