Nevada is working to recover from a cyberattack that disrupted state systems on Sunday, leading to office closures on Monday and Tuesday. The incident, described as a “network issue,” affected websites and phone lines but did not impact emergency services.
Governor Joe Lombardo confirmed the attack and announced a criminal investigation. The Governor’s Technology Office is collaborating with federal and local agencies to restore services, focusing on the most critical systems. No timeline for full recovery was provided.
Officials say there’s no evidence of stolen personal data but urge caution with unexpected messages or calls. State offices are expected to reopen for in-person services later this week.
While the nature of the attack remains unclear, widespread disruptions like this are often linked to ransomware. Experts warn that such breaches can have far-reaching effects, including economic delays, safety risks, and weakened public trust.
