Key U.S. Health Agency Suffers Cyberattack During Coronavirus Response
The Health and Human Services Department suffered a cyberattack during the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. The attack appears to have been intended to slow the agency’s systems down, but didn’t do so in any meaningful way, according to three people familiar with the matter. It doesn’t appear that the hackers took any data from the systems. HHS officials assume that it was a hostile foreign actor, but there is no definitive proof at this time.
