A week after launching their new website, the Tarrant Appraisal District's website is once again offline.
On Thursday, the TAD said a network disruption led the agency to"secure the network." The agency said they were working with"leading independent cybersecurity experts" to assist with the response and the restoration process.
When NBC 5 tried to access the agency's page Thursday morning it was completely inaccessible. A second check shortly before noon showed slight improvement with the words"hello world" appearing on an otherwise blank page.Sign up for NBC DFW newslettersThe TAD did not say what led to the network disruption or whether any data had been compromised or lost, though they did confirm some of the systems and data were temporarily inaccessible.
The trouble comes just a week after the agency was forced to switch to a new website earlier than planned after a database failure. The TAD said they had intended to run both sites simultaneously for another two weeks but had to cut that short after the crash. In a statement released last week, the new agency said the new site featured improved layout, navigation and functionality for users searching for property information or related documents.
