The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has resumed the sale of fishing and hunting licenses and the state Discover Pass through its network of about 600 dealers across the state.

Customers also will be able to purchase those items by phone, by calling WDFW’s licensing customer service number at (360) 902-2464.

All license sales were halted earlier this week in response to the discovery of a vulnerability in an outside vendor’s system that was recently exploited to expose personal information about customers in several states, including Washington, Idaho, and Oregon.

Hunters who have already bought their licenses but need copies of tags or other documents can obtain them through the retail vendors.

Online sales and related services will not resume at this time but more information about those services can be found on the department’s webpage at http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/wild_system/.
