(TNS) — New York Power Authority officials say they are taking steps to ensure they are protected against cyberattacks like those that occurred with Colonial Pipeline this year and SolarWinds in 2020.
SolarWinds, a major U.S. information technology firm, was the subject of a cyberattack that spread to its clients and went undetected for months. Foreign hackers were able to use the hack to spy on private companies and U.S. government, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Treasury Department.
