The city of Las Vegas suffered a network breach early Tuesday as the result of a malicious email, officials confirmed.
City communications director David Riggleman said details surrounding the incident are under investigation and there should be a clearer picture in the coming days.

"We’ve never had a compromise of this nature before, no, but we’ve had attempts in the neighborhood of 279,000 a month," Riggleman said.
All the city officials could reveal in the early stages of the investigations is that the incident was tied to an email.
