Play it how you will -- it only matters if you are having fun.
But my interpretation is that an 'ongoing' effect is just another condition you have to deal with [even if it sucks]
Had it said, Ongoing: Attack, I would agree with you, but otherwise you better deal with that crisis card immediately -- keep in mind that something not fantastic for you, might be amazing for someone else in your group.
Also, you may consider anything affecting the players is an attack -- which would be the general definition of 'attack' but in this game it NEEDS to say attack for it to be defended [it's why some cards have abilities over attacks, even though they feel like attacks, ie Joker]
In the end, just have fun with the game. If you want to play it 'correctly' in accordance to the rules, then unfortunately you'll have to play ongoings as game effects rather than attacks.

Thank you for the fast response.
I found it in the Crisis Rule book where it says "These effects are not attacks that can be avoided."
It's clearly defined in the rule book and I overlooked it.
