Suffolk officials had to postpone county civil services exams scheduled this weekend, after hackers infiltrated the county’s computer systems that disrupted operations for more than two weeks.

A message posted on the county’s temporary website Friday said the exams would be postponed because of the cyber-attack.

All candidates will be notified of any rescheduled dates.
