The Oregon DMV has been unable to take people's portraits since July 5 following a statewide camera system outage.
A widespread camera system outage in Oregon has rendered residents unable to get new photos for driver’s licenses. The state is unsure when the problem will be resolved., all Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services locations have been unable to take people’s portraits for identification and driver’s licenses since Wednesday afternoon.
“At the moment, we are not performing credential transactions that require a photo to be taken, but we are continuing all other transactions,” says Oregon DMV spokesperson Michelle Godfrey, adding that the DMV does not have an estimated restoration time for the faulty camera system. Godfrey said early Thursday morning that the third-party vendor in charge of the state’s camera system is working to address the problem.Oregon DMV reported that a third-party vendor was hackedAt the time, the Oregon DMV recommended that anyone with an active Oregon driver’s license, permit, or ID card assume that their personal information was available to malicious actors and take steps to secure their data. The Oregon DMV discovered that about 3.
Georgia is one of eight states that allows its residents to create digitized ID cards. At least in Georgia’s case, its digital IDs are not a complete replacement for physical identification but can be used as part of a digital wallet to pass through certain TSA checkpoints, including at the busy Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Hopefully, the Oregon DMV camera outage will be fixed soon and people can get their pictures taken. Even when fully operational, DMV offices around the U.S. have a bad enough reputation as it is.

A superconducting-nanowire single-photon camera with 400,000 pixelsFor the last 50 years, superconducting detectors have offered exceptional sensitivity and speed for detecting faint electromagnetic signals in a wide range of applications. These detectors operate at very low temperatures and generate a minimum of excess noise, making them ideal for testing the non-local nature of reality, investigating dark matter, mapping the early universe, and performing quantum computation and communication. Despite their appealing properties, however, there are currently no large-scale superconducting cameras - even the largest demonstrations have never exceeded 20 thousand pixels. This is especially true for one of the most promising detector technologies, the superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). These detectors have been demonstrated with system detection efficiencies of 98.0%, sub-3-ps timing jitter, sensitivity from the ultraviolet (250nm) to the mid-infrared (10um), and dark count rates below 6.2e-6 counts per second (cps), but despite more than two decades of development they have never achieved an array size larger than a kilopixel. Here, we report on the implementation and characterization of a 400,000 pixel SNSPD camera, a factor of 400 improvement over the previous state-of-the-art. The array spanned an area 4x2.5 mm with a 5x5um resolution, reached unity quantum efficiency at wavelengths of 370 nm and 635 nm, counted at a rate of 1.1e5 cps, and had a dark count rate of 1e-4 cps per detector (corresponding to 0.13 cps over the whole array). The imaging area contains no ancillary circuitry and the architecture is scalable well beyond the current demonstration, paving the way for large-format superconducting cameras with 100% fill factors and near-unity detection efficiencies across a vast range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
