Connecticut drivers are unable to get emission tests on their vehicles after a malware attack on the system used for the testing was reported this week, Applus Technologies, the company that runs the testing, said.
The company locked down the system when the issue was found Tuesday. They also notified the state Department of Motor Vehicles and the locations where the tests are performed.
“We truly understand the inconvenience this has caused our agency customer, inspection stations, inspectors and motorists,” Applus CEO Darrin Greene said, in a news release. “We take very seriously our responsibility to provide the highest quality, most reliable vehicle inspection and emissions testing services to the State of Connecticut and pledge to have service restored as quickly as possible.
