A number of U.S. government agencies have fallen victim to a global cyberattack that exploited a software vulnerability, according to a report by CNN.
In a statement to the leftkst news outlet, a spokesman for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said CISA is “providing support to several federal agencies that have experienced intrusions affecting their MOVEit applications.” MOVEit is a software package that “provides secure collaboration and automated file transfers of sensitive data and advanced workflow automation capabilities without the need for scripting. Encryption and activity tracking enable compliance with regulations such as PCI, HIPAA and GDPR.”
“We are working urgently to understand impacts and ensure timely remediation,” said the spokesman.
CISA would not reveal how many federal agencies were targeted by the attack, or who was responsible for it.
