USA: Cisa, hacker attack impacts state and local governments

The cyber espionage campaign that exploited the SolarWinds platform and also hit some US government agencies is having an impact at the level of "local, state and federal governments", as well as on private companies and critical infrastructure.

This was stated by the US agency for cybersecurity (Cisa) in a notice published on its website.

Those who launched the attack "have the resources, the patience and the experience to gain access and privileges to highly sensitive information if left unchecked", reads the CISA notice, which "urges organizations to give priority to measures to identify and address this threat ". (HANDLE).
