El hack de Colonial Pipeline en mayo pasado deber\u00eda servir como una llamada de atenci\u00f3n para las Fuerzas Armadas de los EUA, que\u00a0se\u00a0necesita\u00a0actuar r\u00e1pidamente para proteger su log\u00edstica de los ataques cibern\u00e9ticos. Si bien el ataque de ransomware a Colonial Pipeline no atac\u00f3 directamente las redes militares u otra infraestructura, el evento gener\u00f3 dudas sobre la seguridad de las redes utilizadas por las empresas comerciales que forman una parte clave de la columna vertebral log\u00edstica del Departamento de Defensa.<\/p>\n
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.: The\u00a0Colonial Pipeline hack<\/a>\u00a0should serve as a wake up call for the US military, which needs to move quickly to protect its logistics enterprise from cyber attacks, two top defense officials said today.<\/p>\n In May, Russian-based hackers breached Colonial Pipeline\u2019s networks, causing a gas shortage, skyrocketing fuel prices and ultimately costing the company $5 million in ransom money \u2014 and all those hackers needed was one password, said Air Force Secretary\u00a0Frank Kendall<\/a>, who spoke at the National Defense Transportation Association conference Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is just the tip of the iceberg. If we don\u2019t protect our data, it is wide open for our competitors to steal or manipulate and to disrupt our military operations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
