The joint advisory from the FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said that a Russian state-sponsored hacking effort targeted dozens of state, local, territorial and/or tribal government, and aviation networks, successfully compromising at least two as of Oct. 1.
The hackers accessed information related to network passwords, vendors and access badges. The advisory didn’t reveal the specific jurisdictions targeted by the cyberattacks. [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
