Nevada state offices closed for two days after a cyberattack disabled some state websites and phone lines and disrupted the governor's technology office. Agencies will announce when in-person service counters will reopen as systems are restored. The state identified the attack Sunday and said authorities are investigating while withholding technical details to protect internal systems. Officials reported no evidence that personal information was compromised and said emergency services remained available. State employees were placed on administrative leave Monday; many returned Tuesday and will gradually resume work as computer systems come back online. Previous U.S. public-service cyberattacks have caused similar disruptions.
A cyberattack caused Nevada's state offices to close for two days this week and rendered some state websites and phone lines unavailable, the governor's office said Tuesday. Agencies will announce when their counters will reopen for in-person services, according to the technology office of Gov. Joe Lombardo, whose website was among those disabled. The state identified the attack Sunday and said authorities are investigating.
Officials were unable to release technical details to protect internal systems during the investigation, the memo said. There is no evidence that personal information was compromised, it added. Emergency services remained available. State employees were put on administrative leave Monday. Many returned to work Tuesday, and workers will continue to come back to the office as their computer systems are brought online.
