(Carson City, NV) — Governor Joe Lombardo is speaking out about the cyberattack that temporarily crippled most government offices. On Thursday, Lombardo gave his first public comments since the internet security breach was discovered last Sunday. Lombardo says he was in Elko, Eureka and Ely for pre-planned events this week, and let other members of his staff handle the situation. Meanwhile, Lombardo says the state is expanding the 211 helpline for cyberattack-related assistance. Callers can receive up-to-date information on how to access state services during the recovery period. Investigators are still working to determine who is behind the cyberattack, how it happened and what data was stolen.
