OPERATIONS at the Judiciary came to a temporary halt on Wednesday.
Newsday understands that just before 11 am, staff were told they would not be able to access official e-mail or their calendars.
Some virtual court hearings after that time were said to be affected, and attorneys said they could not file documents related to court matters.
The Judiciary's website was unavailable and e-mails were being returned with an error message.
In-person cases continued.
It is not certain whether Wednesday’s disruption was similar to last week's cyber attack on operations at the Office of the Attorney General.
Questions have been sent to the Judiciary but a statement is yet to be issued.
Newsday understands the Judiciary's IT unit is currently assessing the problem.
On Tuesday, Attorney General Reginald Armour, SC, said investigations are under way into the recent cyber attack on his ministry.
Last Friday, the Ministry of Digital Transformation revealed there had been an attack and that actions were being taken to minimise the threat.
"This unauthorised and illegal access has negatively impacted operations at the Ministry of the Attorney General and Legal Affairs and certain associated divisions."
It said the ministries were working with "leading industry cyber security experts."
Armour said he was "not at liberty to comment while the investigations are ongoing."
The post Judiciary's work halted by digital problem appeared first on Trinidad and Tobago Newsday.
