JANESVILLE — A recent “cyber event†on Rock County was a malicious ransomware attack by criminal actors, County Administrator Josh Smith confirmed Monday.

Smith shared little about the incident and the subsequent investigation but said in an interview that an entity, which he did not disclose, is holding some files for ransom at $1.9 million. As of Monday afternoon, the county had not paid the ransom.
