“We can confirm there has been a breach in one of our bureaus. We have asked CISA and the FBI to investigate, and we cannot comment further at this time,” an official with the Commerce Department told NBC News.
Other government agencies are believed to have been breached by the same group using the same techniques, people familiar with the situation told Reuters.”
It is unclear what information was leaked or the extent of the data breach. State actors are now the biggest sponsor of these widespread efforts to conduct cyber espionage with very big national security implications for all involved. The Unites States must start taking these breaches much more seriously to protect our national interests.
