Virus attack on DPS Computer System

One of the computer systems of the Texas Department of Public Safety was infected by a virus. The virus affected internal communication systems and also some of the external communication system. The external service that got affected includes the issuance of the Texas drivers' licenses. Fortunately the database on which Texas police agencies depend for checking for identities, warrants and criminal records is unaffected by the virus. The authorities reported that about 80 percent of the offices have had the computer service restored.
