Cyberattack on government institutions in the US

Eric Goldstein of the US Department of Cyber ​​Security and Infrastructure Security told CNN that they are providing support to various federal agencies on vulnerable software being exploited by hackers.

“We are working urgently to understand the impact of these attacks and provide a timely solution,” Goldstein said. he used the phrase.

Goldstein did not share any information about which country or groups the cyberattacks were carried out from.

About two weeks ago, cyberattacks were carried out on various universities, hospitals, and state-level government offices in the US.
