US Government Orders Immediate Disconnection of Vulnerable Ivanti VPNs

The U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA has issued an emergency directive ordering federal agencies to disconnect Ivanti VPN appliances due to multiple software flaws that pose a risk of malicious exploitation by hackers. This comes after FBI Director Christopher Wray warned of China-backed hackers targeting critical infrastructure in the U.S. and the recent shutdown of a Chinese hacking group's attempt to infiltrate routers. CISA's directive aims to reduce risks to federal systems, while the FBI and Justice Department continue to address cyber threats posed by foreign governments.
