Mass. RMV Implementing Grace Period For Expired Stickers
And the headaches continue for vehicle owners with expired inspection stickers and small business owners of inspection stations. The Registry of Motor Vehicles in Massachusetts is allowing extra time due to the ongoing system outage that's happening across the nation.
According to a report by Western Mass News, the malware attack that caused the system to go down began on March 30 is now expected to last until Friday at the earliest.
Thankfully, the RMV
did reach out to law enforcement and made them aware of the situation. To recap, a vendor for the RMV, Applus Technologies, has had its system shut down since Tuesday, March 30, when it spotted a malware attack. It has since been trying to correct the problem in order to relaunch operations.
