"Nationwide Network Outage Disrupts DMV Services Across the Country"
DMV facilities experienced a nationwide network outage, affecting their ability to access a key database search tool for verifying driver information. The outage, which occurred around 8:30 a.m., was resolved by 11:30 a.m., with the Secretary of State's office rescheduling affected appointments. An IT expert noted that such outages are becoming more frequent due to the nation's reliance on information technology and systems, citing a similar issue with AT&T last month.
