An unspecified number of federal agencies have been hit by a cyberattack, according to CNN.
A spokesman for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said the agency is “providing support to several federal agencies that have experienced intrusions affecting their MOVEit applications,” but did not detail how many federal groups were hit or who was behind the attacks.
MOVEit “provides secure collaboration and automated file transfers of sensitive data and advanced workflow automation capabilities without the need for scripting. Encryption and activity tracking enable compliance with regulations such as PCI, HIPAA and GDPR,” reads the software’s website.
Reporting from Breitbart:
The attack followed warnings from CISA director Jen Easterly that Chinese hackers were likely to target U.S. critical infrastructure in the event of a conflict between the two nations.
