Portland Under Cyber Attack Yet Again

Portland has recently come into the spotlight, in lieu of a hacking incident, when Portland’s chief security officer, Jeffrey Baer observed a number of suspicious activities by hackers to gain control of the city systems.

There was no report of any data lost or any billing system altered, but there were cases of people's emails being accessed by this group of hackers, which caused a loss of around $676 million to the city. The victims of this incident are yet to discovered, but it has burdened the Chief to take it upon his shoulders, to try and stop the numerous cyber attacks on Portland.  

Portland has been a victim to major cyber attack in the past and the same danger hovers above it this time too. It is high time that security teams look into it and apprehend these hackers who have been inflicting damage for so many years.
