U.S. Gov Agencies Hit By Cyberattack
Multiple fed agencies have fallen victim to a cyberattack that exploited vulnerabilities in software they used.
The full extent of the attack remains unclear as the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency investigates the breach.
This incident is just one of many recent cyberattacks that have targeted various U.S. universities and state governments.
A Russian-speaking hacking group known as CLOP has claimed responsibility for some of the past attacks. However, it remains uncertain whether they are accountable for the latest breach in the series of hacks.
A Chinese hacking group named ‘Volt Typhoon’ was name-dropped by Microsoft in the past for compromising “critical” U.S. cyber infrastructure across numerous industries with a focus on gathering intelligence.
The ability of foreign entities to breach some of the most critical databases in the U.S. raises alarming concerns.
Is the next war a cyberwar?
