“The NCDIT identified a cyber threat and performed system maintenance last week and over the weekend alongside the Joint Cybersecurity Task Force. The maintenance protects state systems and data.“
“Threats such as these affect state entities such as the Department of Transportation and the Department of Motor Vehicles.“
“Officials said the maintenance required all state employees to reset their NCID passwords leading to temporary access outages across state agencies.“

“However, the NC Department of Health and Human Services was one of the agencies affected because it posted a notice on its website saying systems that were affected by the outage are now back online. “
“ The proactive action by NCDIT required password resets for many employees of state agencies, council of state offices and some local governments. “
“NCDIT says due to the large number of accounts, they are taking time to get reset all passwords. “
