Cyberattack Cripples Nevada State Offices, DMV for Third Day

Nevada state offices and various public services have been disrupted for multiple days due to a significant network security incident first detected on Sunday morning. Governor Joe Lombardo's office confirmed the FBI is involved in investigating the cyberattack, which caused closures of DMV offices, EmployNV, and other state agencies, with many employees placed on paid leave. Despite the widespread outage, officials have stated there is no evidence that personally identifiable information was compromised. Recovery efforts are ongoing around the clock, with temporary routing and operational workarounds implemented to maintain public access where feasible, though some websites and phone lines remain slow or unavailable. State museums and certain departments like Conservation and Natural Resources are partially impacted, and the government advises caution against unsolicited requests for personal information. Agencies will announce reopening dates and alternative service options as systems are restored safely.
