Trzaska说,“第一天,我想我们可能是20小时,只是通过这个过程中,试图让我们的手臂周围发生了什么。”
即使美国目前并不是持久的大规模,头版ransomware攻击与今年早些时候的,有针对性的全球肉类供应或阻止数以百万计的美国人填补他们的油箱,问题并没有消失。
学院的考验反映了铲除拜登管理面临的挑战威胁——及其不均匀的进展这么做因为去年春天ransomware成为一项紧迫的国家安全问题。
美国官员已经夺回一些支付赎金,打击滥用cryptocurrency,使一些人被捕。间谍机构发起了攻击ransomware团体和美国联邦,州和地方政府,以及私人产业,促进保护。
然而,六个月后,拜登的普京警告,很难说是否黑客已经放松了,因为美国的压力。小规模的袭击仍在继续,ransomware与看似不受惩罚罪犯从俄罗斯继续操作。政府官员给了冲突的评估是否改变了自去年夏天俄罗斯的行为。
进一步复杂化的是ransomware不再是美国的顶部议程,状况与华盛顿关注行动阻止普京入侵乌克兰。
“有一些执法事项和其他高影响,破坏性ransomware活动构成直接威胁国家安全,需要采取其他措施,”白宫声明说。
Ransomware攻击,黑客锁定受害者的数据和需求过高资金归还,浮出水面的国家安全应急管理可能袭击后殖民管道,提供近一半的燃料消耗在东海岸。
袭击促使公司停止运营,导致天然气短缺数天,尽管它恢复服务后支付超过400万美元的赎金。攻击了肉类加工JBS后不久,支付1100万美元的赎金。
拜登在6月在日内瓦会见了普京,他建议关键基础设施部门应该为ransomware“禁区”,说美国应该知道在6个月到1年的“我们是否有一个网络安全安排,开始把一些秩序。”
他重申消息7月,一家软件公司主要攻击后数天,Kaseya,影响数以百计的企业,并表示,他预计俄罗斯采取行动网络罪犯当美国提供了足够的信息。
自那时以来,有一些明显的攻击组被认为是建立在俄罗斯,包括对辛克莱广播集团和全国步枪协会,但没有一个相同的结果或影响那些从去年春天或夏天。
一个原因可能是增加美国政府审查,或恐惧。
9月拜登政府批准,该虚拟货币交换,官员说,帮助ransomware团伙洗钱。
上个月,美国司法部启封指控疑似乌克兰ransomware运营商在波兰,被捕,并恢复支付数百万美元的赎金。保罗曾经为将军,美国网络司令部,告诉纽约时报他的机构已经开始针对ransomware进攻行动组。白宫说,“一体化”的努力将继续下去。
“我认为ransomware人进行的,是退一步想,嘿,如果我们这样做,会得到美国政府之后我们进攻,”凯文权力,网络安全战略顾问公司CyberSaint风险,对关键基础设施的攻击。
与此同时,美国官员共享少量的疑似ransomware运营商与俄罗斯官员的名字,表示,他们已经开始调查,据两位知情人士未被授权公开发言。
目前尚不清楚俄罗斯将如何处理这些名字,尽管克里姆林宫发言人佩斯科夫坚持国家一直有一个有用的对话,说“一个工作机制已经建立,实际上是运作。”
也很难衡量个人逮捕整体威胁的影响。即使怀疑ransomware黑客等待引渡到美国在波兰被捕后,另一个被联邦检察官指控后来被英国小报报道是在俄罗斯生活舒适,驾驶豪华轿车。
一些人怀疑任何高调攻击下降归因于美国的努力。
“这可能是侥幸,Dmitri Alperovitch说,前首席技术官Crowdstrike网络安全公司。
他说问俄罗斯打击大规模攻击不会工作,因为“这是太细粒度要求的校准他们甚至不完全控制犯罪活动。”
美国高级官员给了冲突的答案关于ransomware趋势以来拜登与普京的讨论。一些联邦调查局和司法部官员说,他们已经看到了俄罗斯的行为没有改变。
国家网络主任Chris Inglis说有明显的减少攻击但说为什么还为时过早。
很难量化攻击的数量由于缺乏基线信息和不均匀的报告从受害者,尽管没有破坏性的事件的一个重要标志是一个白宫试图专注于最重要的国家安全风险和灾难性的破坏。
ransomware袭击的受害者在过去的几个月里包括医院、小型企业、大学像霍华德大学——短暂了许多系统离线后发现9月攻击和维吉尼亚州的立法机关。
刘易斯和克拉克的攻击,在戈弗雷,伊利诺斯州被发现前两天感恩节当学校的主任发现可疑活动,主动系统离线,Trzaska说,总统。
注意从黑客要求支付赎金,尽管Trzaska拒绝透露之和或识别罪犯。尽管许多攻击来自俄罗斯和东欧的黑客,一些来自其他地方。
重要影响的教育系统,包括电子邮件和学校的在线学习平台,管理员取消类天后感恩节假期和沟通更新学生通过社会媒体和公共警报系统。
大学,大部分服务器上的备份,恢复操作。
磨难是令人生畏的足以激发Trzaska和另一位大学校长他说经历了类似的经验,计划一个网络安全小组。
“从每个人,股票报价”Trzaska说,“不是如果它会发生,但是当它会发生。”

<\/figure>Washington: In the months since President Joe Biden<\/a> warned Russia's Vladimir Putin<\/a> that he needed to crack down on ransomware<\/a> gangs in his country, there hasn't been a massive attack like the one last May that resulted in gasoline shortages. But that's small comfort to Ken Trzaska. Trzaska is president of Lewis & Clark Community College, a small Illinois school that cancelled classes for days after a ransomware attack<\/a> last month that knocked critical computer systems offline. \"That first day,\" Trzaska said, \"I think all of us were probably up 20-plus hours, just moving through the process, trying to get our arms around what happened.\"
Even if the United States isn't currently enduring large-scale, front-page ransomware attacks on par with ones earlier this year that targeted the global meat supply or kept millions of Americans from filling their gas tanks, the problem hasn't disappeared.
<\/div><\/div>In fact, the attack on Trzaska's college was part of a barrage of lower-profile episodes that have upended the businesses, governments, schools and hospitals that were hit.
The college's ordeal reflects the challenges the Biden administration faces in stamping out the threat - and its uneven progress in doing so since ransomware became an urgent national security problem last spring.
U.S. officials have recaptured some ransom payments, cracked down on abuses of cryptocurrency, and made some arrests. Spy agencies have launched attacks against ransomware groups and the U.S. has pushed federal, state and local governments, as well as private industries, to boost protections.
Yet six months after Biden's admonitions to Putin, it's hard to tell whether hackers have eased up because of U.S. pressure. Smaller-scale attacks continue, with ransomware criminals continuing to operate from Russia with seeming impunity. Administration officials have given conflicting assessments about whether Russia's behaviour has changed since last summer.
Further complicating matters, ransomware is no longer at the top of the U.S.-Russia agenda, with Washington focused on dissuading Putin from invading Ukraine.

Administration officials have given conflicting assessments about whether Russia's behaviour has changed since last summer.
Further complicating matters, ransomware is no longer at the top of the U.S.-Russia agenda, with Washington focused on dissuading Putin from invading Ukraine.
<\/div><\/div>The White House said in a statement that it was determined to \"fight all ransomware\" through its various tools but that the government's response depends on the severity of the attack.
\"There are some that are law enforcement matters and others that are high impact, disruptive ransomware activity posing a direct national security threat that require other measures,\" the White House statement said.
Ransomware attacks - in which hackers lock up victims' data and demand exorbitant sums to return it - surfaced as a national security emergency for the administration after a May attack on Colonial Pipeline, which supplies nearly half the fuel consumed on the East Coast.
The attack prompted the company to halt operations, causing gas shortages for days, though it resumed service after paying more than USD 4 million in ransom. Soon after came an attack on meat processor JBS, which paid an USD 11 million ransom.
Biden met with Putin in June in Geneva, where he suggested critical infrastructure sectors should be \"off limits\" for ransomware and said the U.S. should know in six months to a year \"whether we have a cybersecurity arrangement that begins to bring some order.\"
He reiterated the message in July, days after a major attack on a software company, Kaseya, that affected hundreds of businesses, and said he expected Russia to take action on cybercriminals when the U.S. provides enough information to do so.
Since then, there have been some notable attacks from groups believed to be based in Russia, including against Sinclair Broadcast Group and the National Rifle Association, but none of the same consequence or impact of those from last spring or summer.
One reason may be increased U.S. government scrutiny, or fear of it.
The Biden administration in September sanctioned a Russia-based virtual currency exchange that officials say helped ransomware gangs launder funds.
Last month, the Justice Department unsealed charges against a suspected Ukrainian ransomware operator who was arrested in Poland, and has recovered millions of dollars in ransom payments. Gen. Paul Nakasone, the head of U.S. Cyber Command, told The New York Times his agency has begun offensive operations against ransomware groups. The White House says that \"whole-of-government\" effort will continue.
\"I think the ransomware folks, the ones conducting them, are stepping back like, Hey, if we do that, that's going to get the United States government coming after us offensively,'\" Kevin Powers, security strategy adviser for cyber risk firm CyberSaint, said of attacks against critical infrastructure.
U.S. officials, meanwhile, have shared a small number of names of suspected ransomware operators with Russian officials, who have said they have started investigating, according to two people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly.
It's unclear what Russia will do with those names, though Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted the countries have been having a useful dialogue and said \"a working mechanism has been established and is actually functioning.\"
It's also hard to measure the impact of individual arrests on the overall threat. Even as the suspected ransomware hacker awaits extradition to the U.S. following his arrest in Poland, another who was indicted by federal prosecutors was later reported by a British tabloid to be living comfortably in Russia and driving luxury cars.
Some are skeptical about attributing any drop-off in high-profile attacks to U.S. efforts.
\"It could have just been a fluke,\" said Dmitri Alperovitch, former chief technology officer of the cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike.
He said asking Russia to crack down on large-scale attacks won't work because \"it's way too granular of a request to calibrate criminal activity they don't even fully control.\"
Top American officials have given conflicting answers about ransomware trends since Biden's discussions with Putin. Some FBI and Justice Department officials say they've seen no change in Russian behaviour.
National Cyber Director Chris Inglis said there's been a discernible decrease in attacks but that it was too soon to say why.
It's hard to quantify the number of attacks given the lack of baseline information and uneven reporting from victims, though the absence of disruptive incidents is an important marker for a White House trying to focus its attention on the most significant national security risks and catastrophic breaches.
Victims of ransomware attacks in the past few months have included hospitals, small businesses, colleges like Howard University - which briefly took many of its systems offline after discovering a September attack - and Virginia's legislature.
The attack at Lewis & Clark, in Godfrey, Illinois, was discovered two days before Thanksgiving when the school's IT director detected suspicious activity and proactively took systems offline, said Trzaska, the president.
A ransom note from hackers demanded a payment, though Trzaska declined to reveal the sum or identify the culprits. Though many attacks come from hackers in Russia or Eastern Europe, some originate elsewhere.
With vital education systems affected, including email and the school's online learning platform, administrators canceled classes for days after the Thanksgiving break and communicated updates to students via social media and through a public alert system.
The college, which had backups on the majority of its servers, resumed operations this month.
The ordeal was daunting enough to inspire Trzaska and another college president who he says endured a similar experience to plan a cybersecurity panel.
\"The stock quote from everyone,\" Trzaska said, \"is not if it's going to happen but when it's going to happen.\"<\/div><\/div>
