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.

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

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.”

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.
