The Nevada Division of Public Health has announced that its Medical Marijuana Program online database has suffered a cyber-attack that has exposed 11,700 applications requesting approval to open a medical marijuana dispensary.

Medical Marijuana agent cards were accessed, disclosing the names, Social Security number, race, address, and citizenship of the owners and employees of medical marijuana dispensaries.

The portal was taken down following discovery of the attack, and the state will notify individuals affected by the attack, and is offering identity theft protection services.
