Henry County Sheriff's Office restores basic online information months after countywide hacker attack

A spartan but functional online inmate lookup at henrycountysheriff.net gives the public access to who’s in custody.

McDONOUGH — After several months of limited online capabilities due to a malicious computer attack, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office has restored basic online lookup functions at henrycountysheriff.net just in time for the COVID-19 emergency.

Social distancing recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have made online access to public records a necessity. Inmate information was and is available via the Henry County Sheriff’s Office phone app.
