Pennington County cyber incident disrupts public services
Pennington County identified a cyber incident affecting portions of its network on 5 July 2026. Most public-facing offices closed the following day, and subsequent county updates documented reduced or manual service delivery, including limited real-estate programs and manual motor-vehicle processing. The attack mechanism and actor remain unconfirmed. This establishes a concrete cyber event followed by material municipal-service disruption.
