Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - State offices around Nevada will continue to be closed as both stat officials and the F.B.I. continue to deal with a cyberattack that’s taken numerous systems offline.

The F.B.I. is now involved in the investigation of the incident, which was first noticed on Sunday morning.

Officials can't say for sure when the cyberattack began, nor did they give and estimate for when all systems would be back up and running.

The DMV, along with state law enforcement and utilities have all been affected. At first, state officials said that no personal information was taken. That was walked back on Wednesday, when it was said that some personal information was taken, though specifics weren’t given.

All DMV offices statewide remain closed, with the DMV saying that if you had an appointment, they will honor you as a walk-in customer once locations reopen.

9-1-1 services are working as normal.

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo wasn't at the Wednesday press conference, but met with the media on Thursday. Lombardo said that there is now an expanded 211 helpline for assistance related to the cyberattack
