KTNV — We are entering our fourth day of network outages due to a cyberattack on the state. We've learned more about the cause of the outage, but locals still have questions about what will happen once services come back online.
We also want to remind you about our Let's Talk event happening today in the Arts District so we can hear directly from you.
Bad actors retrieved data during cyberattack on state network, officials say
The fallout from Nevada's cyberattack is still being felt across the state. From welfare offices to the DMV, many state services remain offline.
We're learning that malicious actors were able to retrieve some data during a cyberattack that has crippled Nevada state agencies this week.

But there are some exceptions as we see these delays stretch into its fourth day.
We're hearing if you're enrolled in notification of sex offenders who may be moving to your area, you're going to receive a text that says updates on offenders are temporarily unavailable.
The Nevada Hospital Association tells us there has been no direct impact on operations following the state cyber attack.
As for DETR, director Christopher Sewell says the website is up and running. During yesterday's press conference, he said DETR's new system is processing claims and people are getting paid.
