Report a hacked website or virus

Any type of adverse event that impacts Washington State government Websites or information systems should be reported at once.

An adverse event can include a hacked Website, a virus, denial of service, or even just the threat of such an event. Washington State has technicians available to evaluate all adverse events and recommend appropriate action.

Commonly asked questions:

  • What do I do if I see a Washington State Website that looks like it has been hacked or has a virus?
  • What do I do when I can't access a state Website?
  • What do I do if a state government employee sends me an email that is infected with a virus?

Note: If you find evidence of a hacked or compromised Washington State Website, or know of the threat of such an event, please contact the Department of Information Services (DIS) Service Desk at 1-888-241-7597. Service Desk representatives are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
