The state of Nevada was hit with a cyberattack at the end of August that resulted in many state offices closing or limiting access to services for many days following the incident. Now, weeks after the attack began, the Nevada governor has announced that 90% of the state’s public-facing websites are back online, with the other 10% being close to full restoration.
While it was previously reported that some data was stolen during the attack, there have been no signs that any personal identifier information has been affected. The state’s IT teams have been working to repair affected systems and have implemented stronger security measures.

A cyberattack on the Michigan school district, South Lyon, resulted in the district’s schools closing for 3 days as they work to recover from the incident.
While no employee or student data was affected, the outage left the district with no working phones, leading to the decision to cancel school until the phone systems are up and running again. With no ability to make calls in and out of the building, including to 911, the district feels it is best to keep students at home until the phone issue has been resolved.
