New Orleans Municipal & Traffic Court Reopens After Cyber Attack

The Municipal and Traffic Court is open for business again.

The court reopened to the public for the first time Wednesday following the cyber-attack that hit the city's network last month.

According to reports, the staff is already overwhelmed with work as the court now has a backlog of 3,500 cases that must be re-entered into the system manually.

Officials say residents who were cited between December 13th and January 21st, 2020 have until February 28th to pay their tickets without getting a penalty.
