RE:
UNDERWRITING - Durham County
Dear Associates:
We have been informed that Durham County has been the victim of several cyberattacks recently. Consequently, Durham County Register of Deeds currently has no computer access and is not accepting any documents for recordation. No time frame for the restoration of services is available.
Until the issue is resolved by the county, you may not issue any policies for closings which have not yet occurred without Stewart Underwriting Counsel approval.
If you have any questions relating to this or other bulletins, please contact a Stewart Title Guaranty Company underwriter.
For on-line viewing of this and other bulletins, please log onto www.vuwriter.com.
