On Thursday, September 24, 2020, Tyler Technologies, announced it experienced a security incident involving unauthorized access to its internal phone and information technology systems by an unknown third party, but that there has been no impact to client software, including Odyssey File & Serve software being implemented by the Maine Judicial Branch.
“Since the announcement, Judicial Branch leadership has met with representatives of Tyler Technologies to discuss the breach and the timing of the Maine eCourts go-live date for most civil cases and family matters, which was scheduled for October 5, 2020 in Bangor District Court and Penobscot County Superior Court, as well as the Business and Consumer Docket statewide. Given the importance and scope of the project to the Maine courts and the citizens we serve and the lack of availability of Tyler resources due to this incident, the rollout will be temporarily postponed while Tyler completes its investigation and resolves their issues.”
