National security BREACHED after hackers break into most sensitive U.S. government files.
One of the largest IT providers servicing the U.S. military-industrial complex suffered a major cybersecurity breach last week that is raising concerns about the safety of the establishment's most sensitive files and documents.
"The nature and sensitivity of the stolen documents remain unclear, but the leak underscores vulnerabilities in the cybersecurity frameworks of companies handling critical government information," reported Cyber Security News, as cited by Hohmann.
All of the files are associated with the technical assistance Leidos provides to its customers.
The person or persons responsible for the hack indicated plans to sell the data in two different formats, which experts are concerned might put national security at risk.
"This incident has prompted a broader discussion on government contractors' security measures and protocols," Cyber Security News reported.
"They can't protect themselves but they want us to believe they can protect us?" wrote one of Hohmann's subscribers about the U.S. government.
