A sweeping ransomware cyberattack has caused several state-run agencies in Nevada to shut down, with officials saying some data was taken out of the state’s network by “malicious actors.”
The widespread attack Sunday shuttered the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Nevada Department of Public Safety, keeping those agencies and several others closed into Thursday, 2 News Nevada reported. The cyberattack also took down the website and phone lines for the Nevada Gaming Control Board, which regulates gaming in the famous Vegas Strip, according to The Nevada Independent.
