The Nevada Department of Public Safety (DPS) experienced a statewide network disruption due to a cyber incident, severely impacting critical public safety operations. The Brady Firearms Unit background check system—a vital service for processing firearm purchases—was rendered inoperable, forcing temporary shutdowns and delays. While the system was restored after intensive 24/7 efforts by the Governor’s Technology Office (GTO) and DPS, the outage disrupted licensed dealers' electronic submissions (FFL Portal), phone support, and processing timelines. Despite extended staff hours, backlogs persisted, risking non-compliance with the three-business-day statutory deadline for background checks. The incident underscored vulnerabilities in government infrastructure, with cascading effects on law enforcement, public trust, and regulatory compliance. The staged recovery prioritized security, but the attack exposed gaps in safeguarding essential state services, potentially enabling further exploitation or reputational damage to Nevada’s public safety framework.
