This The cyberattack comes less than a month after a Russian group of “hackers” managed to infiltrate various US government offices on June 15. This is reported by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

The CL0P group, also known as TA505, was behind the cyberattack, but at the time there was no indication that the “hackers” were acting in coordination with Vladimir Putin’s government, according to the then official.

However, the largest cyber attack on the US government in recent years occurred in 2019, when about 18,000 government agencies were the victims of a massive hack, including by Russian agents using SolarWinds software.
