JULY 17, 2020, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A5 HACK, continued from Page A1 prevent this from happening again.” With the attack and ransom payment, Keizer becomes the latest in a growing number of public and private sector victims of hacking. While some might have suspected a city the size of Keizer would be overlooked as a target for cyber crime, the shot across the bow happened in 2019. In August 2019, hackers infi ltrated and held hostage the data of 22 cities in Texas. The smallest town on the list of victims was Wilmer, which has a population of 5,000. By contrast, Keizer has nearly 40,000 residents, and targets as large as Atlanta have been victims of similar, successful hacking efforts. As far as the amount of the ransom, $48,000, Keizer was let off the hook relatively easy – for now. Atlanta paid a similar fi gure when it was hacked in 2018, but Tillamook County forked over $300,000 to the hackers who invaded its systems fi ve months prior to the Keizer hack. One digital security analyst Keizertimes spoke with in the wake of the hack said hackers are returning with additional demands at a later date in some cases. The strain of virus used to attack the city’s computers is known as ransomware. Rather than destroying or deleting data, it puts the information behind a door that can only be unlocked with a numeric key that remains in the hands of the hackers. In a report published by the World Economic Forum, cities of all sizes are urged to prepare for future digital strikes in the same way they would for an earthquake. “It requires developing the rules, regulations, procedures and budgets for city authorities, businesses and residents to prepare and respond to digital threats when and after they inevitably occur,” the report states. The report cites human error and a failure to implement best practices as the leading causes of such attacks succeeding. Many attacks could be prevented with relatively simple actions such as “software patching, correct fi rewall confi guration, frequent and redundant backups, and use of multi-factor authentication for logons,” the report concluded. The city council meeting begins at 7 p.m. at the Keizer Civic Center. COVID, continued from Page A1 A previous outbreak at The Oaks at Sherwood Park that included 14 known cases of COVID-19 and one death has been contained. The only other reported outbreak linked to Keizer was three cases and one death at Avamere Court at Keizer. OHA’s latest numbers show about one in four Marion County cases of the virus can't be linked to another person with COVID-19. State health offi cials’ goal is keeping that number below 30% otherwise it's diffi cult to identify how the virus is spreading and contain it if a large number of cases can't be linked. In response to rising virus numbers throughout the state, Gov. Kate Brown issued new orders designed to help control GRAD, continued from Page A1 this time how many ceremonies will take place, Borresen estimates that there will be seven to eight ceremonies that will happen between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. — there are more than 400 graduates in McNary’s class of 2020, though not all of them are expected to be in attendance for a ceremony. The deadline to sign up to participate in the ceremonies was July 16. “It was really important for students to be able to pick their own groups. Our student leadership team has been very involved in the decision-making process,” Borresen said. “We want to keep the tradition of kids having their moment to walk across the stage and receive their diploma.” It’s unknown if there will be a keynote commencement speaker. McNary Principal Erik Jespersen will give a speech at each ceremony, but there won’t be any student speeches that take place. the spread of the virus. As of July 15, potlucks, birthday parties and other indoor gatherings are limited to 10 people and face masks are required outdoors when physical distancing can’t be maintained. The new restrictions do not apply to restaurants, bars or churches but Brown offered no guarantees they would continue to be exempt. Businesses are now charged with enforcing the outdoor “It would have been a lot of a student speaker to stay and give the same speech eight times,” Borresen said. One of the biggest logistical issues that McNary is facing right now is the parking situation. The McNary campus was supposed to be closed for the summer due to heavy construction going on at the school. The graduation ceremony was originally scheduled to be at the Pavilion at the Oregon State Fairgrounds before the COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench into the plans. Parking is extremely limited right now due to construction. Borresen says there will be a few disability spaces available, but that most people will have to park outside of the school lot. The McNary staff is working on a possible drop-off lane to be made available for the event. “Parking is completely out of our control right now. We looked at a number of other options to hold graduation, but none of them worked,” Borresen said. “Even with the constructions issues, we still felt like this was something that we wanted to provide to our graduates.” mask mandate when customers are lining up or dining outside. Businesses that refuse to comply may face citation or closure. “Either people will adhere to this requirement or I will be forced to take more restrictive measures. No one wants that,” Brown said. Currently, towns and counties in eastern Oregon are the sites of some of the larger outbreaks in the state. The parking issue won’t likely be the only inconvenience that people in attendance will be facing. To adhere to social distancing policies, people will only be allowed to the campus through the south entrance off of Chemawa Road and exit through the north entrance onto Lockhaven Drive. “The district might decide to change things, but that is how we are planning on proceeding for now,” Borresen said. “We’re just doing the best we can to keep people safe.” For those unable to attend, Borresen is hoping that each ceremony will be broadcasted by Capitol Community Television (CCTV) or the McNary video production program. Borresen also asks that those in attendance arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before the ceremony they are scheduled to attend. The school asks that photos after the ceremony be taken at the north end of the stadium by the junior varsity baseball fi eld. Borresen encourages those that want to take more extensive photos do so at Keizer Rapids Park.
