DMV offices may be back open in Nevada,
0:03
but the fallout from the cyber attack
0:06
A News Now reporter Jeze Woke spoke to
0:08
smog shop owners who say their
0:10
businesses are really struggling to
0:13
I'm at a smog station on Sahara where
0:15
you can see on their screen they still
0:17
have an error message appearing despite
0:19
the DMV services being back up and
0:22
It's not able to pull the exact
0:24
specifics. Smogbusters general manager
0:27
Ryan Ellsworth just one of a handful of
0:29
businesses in town frustrated with the
0:31
residue of the cyber attack.
0:33
It's not telling you how many cylinders
0:35
on the vehicle and it just continues on
0:38
Smog Hut owner Steve Weiss also
0:40
experiencing the ongoing error. Both
0:43
businesses finding creative workarounds
0:45
to get customers taken care of as they
0:47
play catchup from the overall profit
0:49
loss. There was a significant loss in
0:52
income in the uh smog business. We were
0:57
Ellsworth likening the recent drop in
0:59
business to the pandemic era.
1:01
Originally with that, they said, "Hey,
1:02
we're going to be down for 2 weeks and
1:05
they basically pushed off all the
1:06
registrations." Well, the common
1:08
populace doesn't know whether or not
1:10
we're going to be down for a week, down
1:13
Both are still operational despite the
1:15
error message. However, they say there
1:17
are certain impacts they're struggling
1:20
We've had a reduce in the number of
1:22
vehicles that are actually coming
1:23
through for their emissions testing.
1:25
We've also had a reduction in the amount
1:27
of DMV services that people are asking
1:30
And both smog shops tell me there's no
1:32
timeline on when those technical issues
1:34
will be resolved, but they say they're
1:36
back up and running regardless.
