Puerto Rico government agency cancels driver’s license appointments after cyberattack

Puerto Rico’s Department of Transportation suspended services at CESCO and cancelled driver appointment processing after PRITS discovered a cyberattack and disconnected agency systems; technical teams are evaluating scope and integrity, claiming the attack was stopped with no evidence of data theft, though it is not confirmed whether ransomware was involved. The report notes Puerto Rico has been repeatedly targeted previously, including past ransomware and breach incidents where federal agencies have assisted.
