Fallout from Cyberattack on Nevada State Government continues

UPDATED 9/2/25 - The state has set up a couple of websites for updated information.

They are nevada211.org and oem.nv.gov .  Information is also available by dialing 211 on your mobile or landline telephone. 

Original Story:

Nevada continues to deal with the fallout of a cyber attack that has shut down state services for a second straight day. Governor Joe Lombardo’s office confirmed Tuesday the state was the target of a network security breach that remains under investigation by state and federal officials. 

While there’s no evidence that personal data was compromised, residents may find state websites and phone lines slow or unavailable. Emergency services and home internet are unaffected. Officials say restoring the most critical services is the top priority, and agencies will announce reopening plans later this week.   

The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles is one agency that won’t open today.  In fact, yesterday afternoon, they notified us that all offices will be closed until further notice.

Once the DMV reopens, they say all cancelled appointments will be accepted as walk-ins for a two week period of time as well as any fees that were incurred during the outage will be waived.

The Nevada DMV website is running as usual, and while officials are suggesting that the website be used if possible, multiple reports indicate that website outages are still occurring.

 Below is the Governor's statement as received by KELY.

Petition started ahead of hearing on Heritage Park Project

 A petition is being circulated on Change.org to encourage the White Pine County Commission to move forward with the Heritage Park project.  The project, funded by the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act, or SNPLMA, was applied for by a previous county commission, and a portion of the land the park is proposed to be on is owned by a former commissioner.  The petition, started by Lindsay Costello, has already gained nearly 400 signatures.  Critics of the project maintain that the 99-year maintenance obligation of the park is more than the county can afford, while supporters point at the tourism benefits of the complex, the improvement of quality of life for residents, and providing children and teens with places for sporting events, recreation, and personal development.

The petition also point out an issue that the commissioners have avoided addressing.  White Pine County’s property tax rate has stayed the same since 2006: $3.66 per $100 of assessed value. That means the rate hasn’t increased, even when the county builds new things like parks.  But, the petition points out, the assessed value of property is what might increase your tax bill. 

The Commission has twice agendized pulling out of the project, but has tabled those items and has published that a public hearing will be held on the project - again - at the Wednesday, August 13th meeting.

Here is a link to the petition.

Like any good business, CBS News Radio Listens after technical failure

 Twenty-four hours after a major technical meltdown, the folks at CBS News Radio were on a conference call with stations…and taking notes!

OPINION: Local Radio Isn’t Dead—It’s More Vital Than Ever

By Wyatt Cox

In an age when people scroll endlessly through social media feeds, it’s surprising how many folks right here in Ely have never tuned in to their local radio stations. Many assume that if it doesn’t show up on Facebook, it’s not worth knowing.

That’s not just wrong—it’s dangerous.

Social media may be quick, but it’s shallow. It can’t match the depth, context, or local commitment that radio offers—especially when it comes to accurate news and timely information.
