Hackers operate freely throughout virtually the entire Internet, and in addition to scamming and damaging the computers of ordinary consumers, they also target institutions.
In fact, ransomware attacks, where computers are kidnapped, are increasingly popular among different organizations, given that the greater the damage, the hackers have a greater chance of receiving the relevant ransom.
And according to reports ABChackers in recent months have been plunging various public organizations into chaos, including city councils.
The problem is that many of these municipalities do not have enough experience to know how to deal with this type of cyberattacks.
On the other hand, many of these town councils, They also do not have enough money to invest in expensive cybersecurity solutions..
However, the Madrid City Council points out which suffered almost 10,000 cyberattacks between March 2023 and April 2024.
So the Community of Madrid has reinforced its cybersecurity plan, and has just launched an advanced cybersecurity agency.
It is an organization in which a specialized team of computer scientists, nicknamed the “men in black”, They intervene directly in any crisis related to cyber attacks. These cybersecurity experts would mitigate damage and could even restore compromised systems in record time.
The matter does not stop there, but the Department of Digitalization of the Community of Madrid has launched a training program aimed at different municipal officials to teach them how to manage this type of cybercrisis.
They will be given courses at the Ministry’s Innovation Center so that they can organize crisis committees, implement preventive measures and obviously detect these threats in time.
These types of efforts directed at public organizations will also prevent a cyberattack from collapsing any citizen attention.
