| 1 | | HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 59
| 2 | | WHEREAS, In May of 2017, the world witnessed a coordinated | 3 | | global cyberattack known
as WannaCry; it was one of the largest | 4 | | cyberattacks ever, impacting over
150 countries and infecting | 5 | | more than 250,000 computers and devices; and
| 6 | | WHEREAS, WannaCry is a type of malicious software (malware) | 7 | | classified as ransomware; it encrypts essential files on a | 8 | | Windows device and requires that you pay a
ransom to unlock | 9 | | those files; and
| 10 | | WHEREAS, Although WannaCry was focused on organizations | 11 | | and businesses; it was
unique in that it was not targeted at | 12 | | any one industry or region, and it used malware that can move | 13 | | through a corporate network
from a single entry point; and | 14 | | WHEREAS, For organizations that have older equipment or | 15 | | legacy software, such as
hospitals, manufacturing plants, and | 16 | | power plants, deploying a patch to fix
a malware vulnerability | 17 | | can be complicated and disruptive; power plants (coal, nuclear, | 18 | | and renewables) provide virtually all of the power
needs for | 19 | | almost 13 million Illinoisans; and
| 20 | | WHEREAS, Cyberattacks are an increasing concern for the | 21 | | Illinois power grid as a widespread outage could cause |
