White House Warns of Holiday Hacking Risks

A White House press briefing highlighted a joint advisory from CISA and the FBI about the fact that – as CISA Director Jen Easterly put it – “threat actors don't take holidays.” The speakers noted that long weekends and holidays are more common times for attacks, taking advantage of the fewer eyes and first responders on duty, and urged organizations to notify CISA or the FBI in the event of an attack.
