The US State Department was hit with a new cyber attack as of late, News announced Saturday — as negotiators’ endeavors to evacuate Americans and exiles from Afghanistan become always frantic.
The degree of the danger to the department’s internal operations stayed obscure, yet authorities demanded that the attack — found by the Department of Defense’s Cyber Command — no affects its Afghanistan mission.
“The Department treats in a serious way its obligation to shield its information and persistently finds a way ways to guarantee information is secured,” a State Department representative said.
The department was one of many government agencies — and a huge number of private information organizations — hit in December’s enormous SolarWinds breach, which was generally accused on Russia-based hackers.
