Oklahoma State Agencies Hit by Major Network Outage

SOFTWARE BUG DISRUPTS OKLAHOMA STATE AGENCY NETWORK

State Services Brought to a Standstill

A widespread outage earlier this week shut down Oklahoma’s state agency network for most of the day. The disruption impacted key online services relied on by

government offices statewide, forcing some agencies to halt operations entirely.

Cause Remains Undisclosed

State officials have confirmed that the outage was caused by a software bug and that the issue has since been resolved. However, they have not provided details about which software was affected or the source of the problem. The lack of transparency has raised concerns among residents and public accountability advocates.

Public Impact

The outage delayed processing for driver’s licenses, court records, business filings, and other essential state functions. Some agencies reverted to manual processes while others remained closed until network access was restored.
