First, it was the Texas court system. Now the state's transportation agency has been hit by a ransomware attack.

The agency says the TXDOT site was hacked on Thursday.

The Transportation Department website reports some features are unavailable because of technical problems, but didn't say which were affected.

The hack comes days after a ransomware attack disabled the websites and case management systems of the Texas appellate and high courts.

Both agencies are working with the FBI on an investigation.
