The US Cyber ​​Security Agency was hacked

The largest U.S. government agency responsible for cybersecurity disclosed on Saturday that it was hacked last month and forced to shut down two systems.

According to the Sputnik report, the American media quoted the spokesperson of the Cyber ​​Security and Infrastructure Security Agency as saying that there is currently no impact on its systems due to this incident.

He added that the impact of the hack was limited to two systems and the agency continues to update the systems. This speaker stated that any organization can be affected by a cyber vulnerability and having an incident response plan is an essential component of resilience.

According to reports, the two hacked systems were running on old technology that was already slated to be replaced. It is still unclear who was behind this hack. It is worth noting that the mission of the Cyber ​​Security Agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, is to investigate cyber intrusions in government institutions and advise companies to increase security.
