BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho officials say hackers obtained no private information during an attack on the state-run Idaho Supreme Court website.

The Idaho Statesman reports (http://bit.ly/1tQ8gmg) that the website hosting court opinions and other information was taken down by state officials shortly after the problem was discovered Thursday afternoon.

The newspaper reports that before the hack was discovered, the website for a while had a dancing stick figure.

The website was working again Thursday evening.

Courts spokeswoman Linda Trout says the Department of Administration is investigating to determine how hackers took control of the website.
