Cyberattack Disables Court-Required Breathalyzer Systems in 46 States
A cyberattack on Intoxalock has left ignition interlock breathalyzer devices unable to start vehicles in 46 states, impacting thousands of drivers. Affected drivers may be blocked from using their cars until the vendor and courts resolve the outage.
Who Is at Risk
People whose vehicles rely on third-party ignition control systems may be affected, particularly where these systems are required for legal or safety compliance.
What to Watch For
Vehicles that won’t start, error messages on in-car devices or related apps, service outage notices, or official communications about system disruptions.
What to Do
Impacted drivers should contact Intoxalock, take photos or videos with timestamps of errors, and arrange alternative transportation.
