Multiple U.S. agencies hacked in major cyberattack.

Several U.S. federal agencies have been hacked as part of a broader cyberattack that exploited a vulnerability in the popular file sharing software MOVEIt. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is investigating the scope of the hacks and providing support to affected agencies. The hackers, believed to be the ransomware group CL0P, have stolen data from at least 47 organizations and demanded payment not to publish them online. It is unclear whether the stolen files were sensitive or whether the hackers had disrupted government systems. This is the third known time in as many years that foreign hackers have been able to break into multiple federal agencies and steal information.
