BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Brazos County says no public records were exposed after being forced to pull one of its websites offline earlier this month.
A record aggregation service in Canada found “an undisclosed vulnerability in the Justice Web software and exposed a quarter million nonpublic records belonging to the State Bar of California,” according to the county’s press release.
Brazos County officials pulled down the records as a precautionary measure because they used the same software.
The Brazos County Information Technology Department recently applied an update provided by Tyler Technologies that corrected the vulnerability.
