A Russian-speaking hacking group has reportedly gained unauthorized access to the email addresses of approximately 632,000 U.S. federal employees. The affected departments include the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice.
This alarming revelation comes from a report by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, Bloomberg reported.
The affected employees were spread across various branches of the DoD, including the Air Force, Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and Defense Agencies and Field Activities. The DoJ was also compromised, although the specifics remain undisclosed.
The cyberattack, which took place on May 28 and May 29, was labeled a “major incident” by the Office of Personnel Management, as reported by Bloomberg. However, the agency also asserted that the data compromised in the attack was largely “of low sensitivity” and did not include classified information. . .
