Bernalillo, New Mexico ki nagar parishad ne is mahine ki shuruaat mein shahar ke sarvajanik computer tantra ko jam karne wale cyber hamle ke peeche ke hacker ko 82,000 dollar ka prastaav dene ke liye sarvasammati se vote diya hai, is aasha mein ki shahar ke tantra aur unmein rakhi jaankari surakshit rahe.

Meyar Jack Torres ne Sandoval Signpost ko bataya ki parishad ne shahar ke tantra, karmachariyon aur sambhavatah grahakon ki jaankari ki suraksha ki aasha mein ye kadam uthaya. Parishad ne hamle ke peeche ke khatra abhineta ko 82,000 dollar ka prastaav dene ke liye sarvasammati se vote diya, Signpost ne bataya.

Hamla kaise hua

Shahar ke suchna praudyogiki karmachariyon ne pehle socha ki 9 October ko The Paper ko report ki gayi samasya keval internet band hona hai. Paas se jaanch mein pata chala ki ye cyber hamla tha, shahar ki samachar vigyapti ke anusaar. Shahar ne kaha ki janata dwara upyog kiye jaane wale sabhi computer tantra jam ho gaye the aur online uplabdh nahi the.

Lagbhag 9,200 ki aabadi wale, Albuquerque ke thik uttar mein sthit Sandoval county ke mukhyalaya shahar ke nivasiyon ke liye vyavadhan vyavharik aur tatkal tha. Nivasi paani ke bill online nahi bhar sake, aur shahar ka motor vahan karyalaya band ho gaya. Adhikariyon ne kaha ki shahar ke ubharne ke dauran kisi ki sewa nahi jayegi aur koi vilamb shulk nahi dega.

Shahar ne FBI se sampark kiya aur sevaon aur data ko bahaal karne mein madad ke liye New Mexico Cybersecurity Karyalaya aur bahari cybersecurity visheshagyon ko bulaya, meyar Torres ne us samay bataya tha.

Ek vibhajit sawal, ek sarvasammat vote

Parishad sadasya Vincent Montoya ne khatra abhinetaon ke saath baatcheet ke parinamon par chinta vyakt ki, Signpost ne bataya, bhale hi parishad ne prastaav dene ke liye sarvasammati se vote diya. Aage kya hoga ye is par nirbhar karta hai ki agyaat hamlaavar bhugtan swikar karta hai ya nahi.

Torres ne kaha ki rajya aur niji cybersecurity bhagidaron se unhone jo pehle sawal puche unmein se ek ye tha ki kya Bernalillo par bas dobara hamla ho sakta hai. Unhone kaha ki iski koi guarantee nahi hai ki shahar dusri baar nishana nahi banega, lekin shahar aur uske bhagidar is ghatna se seekh rahe hain. Mid-Region Council of Governments ki Augusta Meyers, jo Bernalillo ke saath kaam karne wali sansthaon mein se ek hai, ne kaha ki unhein ummeed hai ki roktham yojana agle kadamon mein se ek hogi.

Bernalillo is sharad ritu mein hamla jhelne wali New Mexico ki ekmatra sanstha nahi hai. University of New Mexico Health System ne haal hi mein cybersecurity samasya se nipat-te hue clinic appointment radd kiye aur ambulanceon ko dusri jagah bheja, aur BYOD naam ke ek ransomware samuh ne kathit roop se us hamle ki zimmedari li hai.
