U.S. Health and Human Services Department Suffers Cyberattack
The U.S. Health and Human Services Department suffered a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.
According to a Bloomberg news report, the cyberattack was called a campaign of disruption and disinformation that was aimed at undermining the response to the Coronavirus pandemic. The attack may also have been the work of a foreign actor. In addition, it doesn’t appear that the hackers took any data from the systems, and the hack involved overloading the HHS servers with millions of hits over several hours.
