Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone has admitted to various flaws within the county that led to a ransomware attack compromising the data of nearly half a million residents. An outside cybersecurity agency completed a 40-page forensic report, which revealed criminal actors gained entry to County Clerk servers before launching a full-blown attack.
Findings from a 40-page forensic report completed by an outside cybersecurity agency determined that criminal actors gained entry to County Clerk servers through a vulnerability in the office before launching a full-blown attack against the County. According to the report, the cyberattack impacted just 1.6 percent of systems, however, Bellone says the County was able to maintain its backup data and didn’t pay any ransom. Now, more than 95 percent of county services are back online.
