According to a Fox News correspondent, the US State Department was recently targeted by a cyberattack, and the Department of Defense Cyber Command was notified of a possible serious breach.
The date of the breach is unknown, but it is thought to have occurred a few weeks ago, according to a Fox News reporter’s Twitter thread. The current mission of the State Department to withdraw Americans and allies from Afghanistan has “not been harmed,” according to the reporter.
Without confirming any incident, a reliable source told Reuters that the State Department has not encountered any substantial disruptions and that its operations have not been hampered in any manner.
“The Department takes its obligation to protect its information very seriously, and it takes steps to guarantee that it is protected on a regular basis. We are unable to discuss the nature or breadth of any suspected cybersecurity problems at this time due to security concerns “, according to a statement from the State Department.
