Mexico’s transportation ministry has stopped issuing new permits, license plates and driver’s licenses for commercial truck operators until Dec. 31 because of a cyberattack in late October, creating possible delays for transporters.
The Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) made the announcement Tuesday in the federal government’s official periodical. SICT tweeted that on Oct. 24 its servers were hacked, stating “the Cyber Incident Management and Contingency Plan was activated and investigations are ongoing.”

That is a really long time for that system to be down. I wonder how much of an impact that will be cost wise on the stuff (like food items) that are coming to the US from Mexico.
Besides the drugs, folks.
