Senior government officials are racing to limit the impact of what's believed to be a global cyberattack affecting U.S. federal agencies and allies, including NATO member countries.
Cybersecurity experts say the hacking gang has been active since at least 2014 and is believed to operate from Russia with the tacit approval of Moscow's intelligence services. CISA Director Jen Easterly identified the hackers as CLOP Ransomware.Brett Callow, a cyber threat analyst with Emsisoft, told CBS News that there were 47 confirmed victims so far,"plus a number of as yet unidentified U.S. government agencies.
Late Thursday afternoon, a senior CISA official declined to identify which government agencies had been affected, but noted that the Energy Department had issued a statement indicating it had reported an incident to CISA. The official also said that at this time, there is no indication that any of the military branches or the intelligence community were impacted.
