VINE System temporarily down to fix error

The Kentucky Department of Corrections says the Victim Information and Notification Everyday System is temporarily offline.

According to the DOC, a vendor-caused issue resulted in false alerts through the VINE System being issued. The alerts falsely indicated certain inmates had been released. The DOC says the information is false and should be disregarded.

The VINE System has been temporarily disabled in order to address the issue and notifications are not being sent. The DOC says the system should be back up and running by the end of the day Thursday, at which time a notification will be sent to affected users.

The DOC says no personal data or information was hacked or compromised.
