On making a reach out to NYRA for a more detailed
description of the incident, more of the
response has not been received yet. Thus on
making careful observation, it seems to be the
case, that none of the impacts has been faced by
the NYRA horse racing community from the incident
on the horse racing because none of the changes
have been seen in the calendar, and along with
the betting of race is in continuation as
usual. However, the website of association
website is still out of reach which is thus
making the message sent to the mind that the
effects of the attack are not being able to be
mitigated now. Responsibility for The Attack Is
Taken By The Hive Ransom ware Gang Yesterday,
the responsibility for making the ransom ware
attack was taken by the Hive ransom ware gang
for the attack made on NYRA by making themselves
listed as a victim on their extortion site. The
publishing of the link has been made by the
hackers for the free downloading of a ZIP with
the archives of all the files contained whose
stealing was allegedly made from the system of
NYRA, so it can only be assumed by us that
negotiations for a ransom payment are making the
reach to a dead end. Hive is thus one of the
highest tier ransom ware gangs which is currently
among the most active ones, thus making a recent
hit on Bell Canada and the Da-mart clothing
store chain while announcing several more victims
who have not been given the public admittance of
a security incident. On 21st September the
following comment is being shared by NYRA who is
an active spokesperson On June 30, 2022, the
discovery of the suspicious network activity was
made by NYRA that was having the markings of a
4
potential cyber-attack. In response, the
connectivity of all affected systems was
suspended by NYRA with immediate effect along
with the notification being sent to the relevant
law enforcement and regulatory authorities, thus
making the cyber-security professionals mobilized
for the intense investigation of the nature and
scope of the attack. Over the ensuing weeks, a
detailed forensic analysis of the network and
systems is being performed over the NYRA and its
team of expert systems the determination the
extent of the breach made. Fortunately, the
damage made to the network of NYRA was not having
any kind of connection to the day-to-day racing
operations, along with the wagering activity of
customers, NYRA Bets, or NYRA television. As a
result, there was none of the interruption made
to the core operations of NYRA. Currently, there
is none of the evidence being found thus
suggesting the data that is quite sensitive to
the customer or the compromise of the information
was made during the process of the data breach.
However, the discovery was made by the NYRA that
those who were responsible for the attack were
thus able to gain access to files which are
having the personally identifiable information
of a group of NYRA employees and their
beneficiaries contained in it. The notification
has been made by the NYRA to all the individuals
who may have been going to be impacted as having
the requirement of them being applicable under
the state laws. Thanks for reading. Hope you
