Five federal agencies potentially breached in Pulse Connect Secure hack
CNN
At least five federal civilian agencies appear to have been breached in the latest hack to hit the US government, a discovery that follows emergency measures to mitigate potential damage from the incident, according to a top official at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Hackers with suspected ties to China repeatedly took advantage of vulnerabilities in Pulse Secure VPN, a widely used remote connectivity tool, to gain access to government agencies, defense companies and financial institutions in the US and Europe, a report released early this month showed. For the last several weeks, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has been working to determine the extent of the problem and help agencies secure their systems, including asking them to run an "integrity tool" to check for possible compromise.More Related News
