The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission is investigating after a foreign country hacked its network internet and intranet system, according to officials.
A spokesperson for the FBI says the agency is also involved.

“Our information technology department noticed it and discovered that it was from an outside source. It wasn’t internal. The source came from a foreign country,” Public Regulations Commission spokesperson Deswood Tome said.

According to Tome, a firewall with the New Mexico Department of Information Technology was breached and hackers were able to access the PRC’s system. Before there could be further damage the internet and intranet were taken offline.
He also said the equipment that was breached was outdated.

“The system is currently in safe mode, while IT engineers and technicians are working to restore the system in careful steps to ensure the network is back online,” Montoya said.
