Anyone hear about the huge cyber attack of the government last night?
Please share anything you can find.
The Department of Health and Human Services came under a foreign cyber attack Sunday night as the agency continues to manage and respond to the Wuhan coronavirus.
“The U.S. Health and Human Services Department suffered a cyber-attack on its computer system Sunday night during the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to three people familiar with the matter,” Bloomberg reports. “The attack appears to have been intended to slow the agency’s systems down, but didn’t do so in any meaningful way, said the people, who asked for anonymity to discuss an incident that was not public.”
Fraudulent text messages about “CDC guidance” were also sent out Sunday night, prompting the National Security Council to warn about false, disinformation during a crisis.
