DMV Opens Offices for Certain Services More than Week After Cyberattack
The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles began offering limited in-person services after a cyberattack disrupted multiple state agencies, with walk-ins allowed for canceled appointments through mid-September.

- The cyberattack underscores rising threats to government systems, with significant ongoing recovery efforts and no clear timeline for full service restoration, highlighting risks from insufficient security measures.
