The county said Minnesota’s central IT agency blocked access to state motor vehicle systems after a reported cyber incident involving an emergency services network.
A second county cyber incident this year disrupted critical systems and impaired emergency and municipal services, prompting Gov. Tim Walz to authorize Minnesota National Guard support.
The attack knocked out the office’s network, moved dispatch work to Seymour police and left officers filing reports in Word documents, according to Lt. Adam Nicholson.
