In a statement, he said it is critical for them to identify cybercrimes and take action against those who deploy malware. He explained the cybercriminals can do almost anything they want on a device with malware.
According to AG Becerra, “Today, we took steps to identify one of these cyberattacks. We continue to analyze the malware and work to hold the attackers accountable.”
On the other hand, Cal-OES Director Mark Ghilarducci, said, “This type of cyber-attack is a persistent approach for bad actors. They use “bots to transmit malware or to launch attacks to disrupt nearly any computer system…”
Additionally, Ghilarducci said they are focused on identifying the cybercriminals and their networks and shutting them down.
Furthermore, he said,“We must continue preparing for and responding to cyber events with precision, and that requires a proactive approach.”
