Nizich Lends Expertise to Newsday Cybersecurity Story

Michael Nizich, Ph.D., director of the ETIC and adjunct associate professor of computer science, lent his cybersecurity expertise to Newsday’s continued coverage of the Suffolk County ransomware attack. In response to a recently released forensic report, Nizich notes that it’s not clear how investigators could know for sure if the county’s health department data was stolen. However, he advises Suffolk County residents whose data may be on any of the identified servers to operate as if it’s been viewed by signing up for ID theft protection and blocking new credit signups through credit monitoring services.
