Ransomware Strikes Again: The Oakland Cyber Attack

Ransomware Strikes Again: The Oakland Cyber Attack

After a ransomware attack disrupted local government operations, the City of Oakland declared a state of emergency. The City Administrator G. Harold Duffey issued this declaration due to ongoing impacts of network outages caused by ransomware. The city is now working with law enforcement and cybersecurity experts to determine the scope and severity of the attack.

Although 911 emergency services are still up and running, the Oakland Police Department has reported that the attack certainly “has delayed response times” and although the City Administrator did not specify which systems are down, Duffey stated that “Oakland continues to experience a network outage that has left several non-emergency systems including phone lines within the City of Oakland impacted or offline”. 

Sachin Bansal, SecurityScorecard chief business officer said “we need to take this as a warning of broader attack threats and harden our security at all levels,” and “Oakland was particularly vulnerable, due to its older systems and limited resources. Which is common in many local governments. (St. Clair and Burbank)

“Ransomware expert Brett Callow said at least six governments have already reported ransomware attacks this year, with at least four of them having data stolen.” (Jonathan Greig)

“The ransomware incident affecting the City of Oakland underscores a harsh reality that every governmental agency must confront; a ransomware attack isn’t just a remote possibility but rather a likely imminent event.” Comforte AG Cybersecurity Expert, Erfan Sadabi.

Cybersecurity is a crucial aspect that cities and governments should take seriously. The risks and consequences of cyber attacks can be devastating. Investing in cybersecurity solutions should be a top priority to ensure data and systems are protected from cyber threats.

Data Protection for Cities, Counties, and Municipalities

/in

Small cities, counties, and municipalities often think that they are too small to be targeted by cybercriminals, but the reality is that no organization is immune to cyber attacks. In fact, smaller governments may actually be more vulnerable to cyber attacks due to limited resources and cybersecurity expertise. Therefore, it is crucial for these smaller entities to prioritize data protection to avoid potentially devastating consequences.

Firstly, small cities, counties, and municipalities need to be aware of the various threats they face. Common cyber threats include phishing attacks, ransomware attacks, and insider threats. Phishing attacks are when cybercriminals trick users into giving away sensitive information through fake emails, while ransomware attacks are when hackers encrypt an organization’s data and demand payment for its release. Insider threats can occur when employees with access to sensitive information intentionally or unintentionally leak or misuse that information.

One way to protect against these threats is to implement a data protection plan. This plan should include regular backups of critical data, strong password policies, and employee training on how to identify and avoid phishing attacks. Additionally, smaller governments should consider investing in cybersecurity solutions to prevent unauthorized access to their systems.

These experts can provide guidance on developing and implementing a data protection plan, conducting regular security assessments, and responding to cyber attacks in a timely manner.

Trinsio powered by Threatblockr is your solution. We use simple, innovative technology and best-in-class threat intelligence to secure your networks, data and users in real time. Our patented solution blocks known threats from ever reaching your network. We believe nothing scales like simplicity. We make blocking threats smart and simple – at scale – everywhere.

Small cities, counties, and municipalities must prioritize data protection to prevent devastating cyber attacks. By understanding the threats they face, implementing a data protection plan, and partnering with cybersecurity experts, smaller governments can mitigate the risk of cyber attacks and protect the sensitive information of their citizens.

New Jersey School District — Attacked!

/in

Ransomware Attack on New Jersey School District

Last month Tenafly Public Schools – a school district in New Jersey experienced chaos when ransomware crippled their computer systems. Members of the district first noticed something was wrong when they were not able to access any of their files normally. 

They hired a cybersecurity expert to evaluate the situation and responded to the attack by shutting everything down in an effort to isolate the incident, but the damage had already been done. Students, parents, and teachers lost access to the school’s Google Classroom, emails, and other grading systems as a result of the attack.

Teachers were forced to modify lesson plans and take a more hands-on approach, because they were unable to access online materials and lesson plans. Students were doing things the ‘old fashioned way’ using the overhead projectors and assignments on paper rather than on the computer. With the lack of access to study materials, the staff made the decision to cancel final exams and there are no plans to reschedule them.

Tenafly school district is recovering slowly but surely from this ransomware attack and is looking forward to making improvements in their data security in the future. Although students are probably thrilled that they were able to skip out on final exams, this ransomware attack caused a lot of grief.

There is no word on who is responsible for the cyber attack or how much money they requested but the school district did say that law enforcement is involved in the investigation.

Luckily the staff and students in the district remained positive and optimistic through the incident. Christine Corliss, the district communications manager said “we have system issues and we have to deal with it, but it kind of brings you back in time a bit to do things the old fashioned way. And there’s something to be said for a little bit of that too. So, we see a lot more face-to-face, a lot more phone calls and a lot less email,” (New Jersey Cancels Finals After Ransomware Attack)

If a ransomware attack can happen to a small school district in New Jersey, it can happen to you too. “Of the 17 industries studied by information-security company SecurityScorecard, the education sector ranked as the least secure in 2018, with the highest vulnerabilities present in application security, endpoint security, and keeping software up to date.” (Our Biggest Nightmare Is Here) And with the shift to more online learning the past few years, there is even more of an opportunity for cyber criminals to infiltrate systems and leave schools and districts in a bind.

Ransomware attacks are not going anywhere so the best thing you can do for your company, district, or organization is have a plan in place to ensure you are protected in the event of an attack. Trinsio partners with Rubrik to bring you enterprise-level data management and security technology but for a fraction of the cost. With Rubrik, Trinsio will provide you a solution that you can rely on.

Why Does my Business/Organization Need Protection for Microsoft 365?

/in

Is your business or organization currently using Microsoft 365 to store your critical data? Hundreds of millions of enterprises are taking advantage of this great tool however many don’t realize the risk and potential dangers associated with utilizing this platform. If you have not seen any attacks or attempted attacks on your data, according to the recent trends, chances are you will.

The reality is that security you have used on your hardware & software applications that are hosted on-site just won’t cut it for the cloud.

Risk #1 Ransomware Attacks in Office 365

A single error from a user is all it takes for ransomware to infect your valuable M365 data. We have seen cyber criminals attempt to infiltrate data in a number of ways (compromised cloud login credentials, emails, public links, externally accessible file shares, etc.) Then ransomware can use the sync-and-share capabilities to quickly spread itself across your organization potentially leaving you in shambles.

Risk #2 Account Takeovers

It has been said that your login credentials are ‘keys to the kingdom’. If a hacker gets ahold of your username & password, they become you! There is no telling what they may do. These attacks could not only affect your revenue but also your reputation which could lead to a loss of trust with your customers. 

Risk #3 Data Loss

Considering how easy it is to upload, organize, share, etc. using Microsoft 365, it is very possible that files and data can be deleted. Sometimes this happens accidentally and other times it happens maliciously as hackers seek confidential data to steal or compromise. 

Solution

With the various risks associated with Microsoft 365, it is important to have all your bases covered. Rubrik technology can save you from the headache and stress of data loss. Rubrik creates an isolated and secure backup. By storing the protected Microsoft 365 data in a separate, secure account managed by Rubrik, backup data is kept intact and readily available exactly when it is needed for recovery. 

Whatever business or organization you are running, the last thing you should have to worry about is your data being compromised. With Trinsio, you can have access to Rubrik’s best-in-the-business data backup and data management technology, but for a cost that works for you.

“Working for Sesame Workshop, which has a lot of intellectual property and a lot of data in many places, we are always looking to protect against ransomware. That’s why we invest in good technology and the best out there to make sure that my team sleeps at night. We also constantly use our backups for file restores and email restores. Especially those cases where we have staff that deletes something, and they forget that they deleted it. They come back to us 60, 90 days later. We have to go back to our backup to recover it. And the only place we can do that from is Rubrik. Easy restores and they have their file in a matter of minutes.” -Rudy Cordero, Senior Director of Infrastructure and Operations at Sesame Workshop
