The Nevada Attorney General shared this:
As ordered by the Governor’s Office, all state offices are closed today due to “significant state network degradation affecting the ability to conduct normal business.” We anticipate resuming normal business tomorrow.
There is differing information on all local news organizations – are State offices fully closed or no? Can’t access your website, and this is the AG’s post:https://t.co/jeSWTjdPOs

Here is what a local media outlet shared:
What is going on in Nevada. The government has not been able to work the first two days of this week. Why is this not addressed and why is no one talking about it?If you live in Nevada, you can’t walk into most state offices today.
Need to renew your driver’s license? Closed.
Want to register your business? Can’t do it.
Planning to get married and need a license? You’ll have to wait.
Nevada state offices temporarily suspended all in-person services Monday morning after hackers attacked the state’s computer networks. This means the counter windows at DMV offices, tax departments, and other state agencies are locked up tight while tech experts try to fix the damage.
The good news? You can still call 911 in an emergency. That system wasn’t affected. But if you need anything else from Nevada’s government, you’re out of luck for now.
State websites are running slow or not working at all. Phone lines to government offices might not answer. Officials say they’re working around the clock to get things back to normal, but they won’t say when that might happen.
