Cyberattack shuts down Nevada state offices for two days, governor's office says
A sophisticated ransomware attack disrupted Nevada state government services for multiple days, with some data exfiltrated; investigators continue to assess the impact and restore functionality.
- On Sunday, the State of Nevada identified a network security incident that disrupted online services and forced state agency offices to close.
- The Governor's Technology Office said the intrusion was 'sophisticated' and 'ransomware-based', investigators found evidence some data was moved outside the network, and the FBI is assisting the probe.
- State benefit offices experienced delays, with residents like Lauri Taylor told to return with documentation and Marlen Garcia saying, `I was coming to get food stamps for me and my kids. But the office is, I guess, their system is down, and it's gonna be down`.
- On Wednesday, officials briefed the public in Carson City and said Timothy Galluzi emphasized the forensic analysis is "complex, methodical and time-consuming," with agency counters reopening only after system validation.
