U.S. Marshalls now hit by cyberattack

Some time ago, the FBI was hit by an attack, and now, its the United States Marshalls service.

I heard about this when The Cyberwire mentioned as part of release. The JRN has not yet heard this podcast, but intends to.

One of my followers, Herbie Allen, boosted this via NPR. Hackers steal sensitive law enforcement data in a breach of the U.S. Marshals Service is the article.

The U.S. Marshalls office is the oldest law enforcement agency behind the FBI, according to the article. It has full details, I believe I read they’re first and then the FBI.

Regardless, now both agencies have been targeted. The article does not indicate whether its ransomware, as they’re not sure.

We don’t know who was behind the attack.

If we hear more, we’ll pass it along.
