Hackers attempted to breach computer systems at Louisiana’s state tourism agency over the weekend, but they were unsuccessful, the agency said.

The hackers tried to gather user data from the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, a practice known as credential harvesting, but cybersecurity software from the company CrowdStrike quickly recognized what was happening, shut down department computer servers in response, and prevented the attack, an agency spokesperson said.

Requests for more detailed information about the incident were referred to Louisiana State Police, which is investigating the attack.

“The Louisiana State Police Cyber Crimes Unit is investigating a cyber incident involving electronic devices at the Louisiana Department of Tourism,” Sgt.

Ross Brennan, a spokesperson confirmed in a statement.

“At this time, no electronic devices have been seized, no arrests have been made, and no department employees are believed to be suspects.

The investigation remains in its early stages, and no further information is available at this time,” Brennan said.
