A malware infection affecting servers belonging to the Virginia State Police shut down the department’s email system, along with its ability to update the state’s Sex Offender and Crimes Against Children Registry. The infection took root Wednesday and was removed by Thursday afternoon. Other VSP systems, such as those for traffic crash investigations, traffic enforcement, criminal investigations, firearms transactions, or background checks, weren’t affected. The incident had a happy ending, as everything went back to normal by the end of the week.
