NBA 2021: The Houston Rockets are studying a cyberattack that tried to establish a virus on the basketball team’s in-house operations, and the company is managing intimately with the FBI, team officials said.
“The Rockets organization recently detected suspicious activity on certain systems in its internal network. We immediately launched an investigation”, Houston Rockets said in a statement, combining that cybersecurity specialists were also accommodating.
“Our internal security tools prevented ransomware from being installed except for a few systems that have not impacted our operations,” the statement added.
The Rockets also said on Wednesday they were conscious of reports that the actors behind the crime demanded to have obtained internal business data from the team.
Great article.
My answer. It’s as ambiguous as reasons are for traditional wars. If a cyber attack results in massive real world harm, the commensurate response may be rockets, tanks, planes and soldiers 🤷🏾♂️

“While this investigation is ongoing, the incident has had no impact on our operations or our ability to take care of our fans, employees, and players”, the Houston Rockets said.
However, it added that it would be hard to define the extent of the conflict until the study is completed.
The Houston Rockets said they would notify anyone concerned if they find personal data was compromised in the incident.
Babuk was discovered early this year and has already compromised at least “five big enterprises,” including one victim who gave $85,000 after colloquies.
