The Nevada state government agencies, including the Division of Insurance (DOI) and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), suffered a ransomware attack on August 24, disrupting critical operations. The DOI’s website remained offline for days, though phone lines and emails were partially restored. A forensic review confirmed data exfiltration, with some information moved outside the state’s network, though officials clarified that no DMV data was stolen. The attack prompted a multi-agency response, including the FBI, with state and federal teams investigating the breach. While core financial systems were reportedly secure, the incident forced the DMV to resume in-person services for registrations, title transfers, and driver’s licenses. The attack’s broader impact included system outages, staged recovery efforts, and potential risks to consumer data, though the full scope of the breach remains undisclosed. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in government infrastructure and the operational disruptions caused by cyber extortion campaigns.
