Hackers breached the Commerce Department, and reportedly have infiltrated the Treasury Department and other U.S. agencies, in incidents that government security officials said on Sunday that they were fighting to contain. “We can confirm there has been a breach in one of our bureaus,” a Commerce Department spokesperson said. The spokesperson added that Commerce has asked the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency “and the FBI to investigate, and we cannot comment further at this time.” Reuters reported that foreign nation-backed hackers have been monitoring email traffic at the Treasury Department and Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration, and the attackers apparently used similar tools to breach other agencies. “The United States government is aware of these reports and we are taking all necessary steps to identify and remedy any possible issues related to this situation,” said John Ullyot, a spokesman for the White House’s National […]

FireEye’s announcement this week that hackers breached its systems has sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity community, raising new questions about how one of the most influential security firms in the U.S. grappled with an apparently state-sponsored attack. It also has triggered policy discussions about whether the U.S. government should do more to protect cyber industry titans like FireEye, one of the top cybersecurity firms in the world with customers that counts Fortune 500 companies among its clients. The hack adds FireEye to the list of cybersecurity companies that have experienced their own breaches, a roster stretching back to at least the beginning of the last decade. “This news has rocked the cybersecurity industry to our core, unlike anything since the RSA hack” from 2011, said Tom Bossert, president of Trinity Cyber and the former homeland security adviser to President Donald Trump. “It’s a pretty big deal.” FireEye revealed on Tuesday […]

FireEye, one of the most influential cybersecurity companies in the world, on Tuesday revealed that it had been breached by a suspected state-sponsored hacking group. FireEye CEO Kevin Mandia said that the FBI and security experts at Microsoft were helping investigate the incident, in which attackers accessed the tools FireEye uses to simulate attacks against clients. “Their initial analysis supports our conclusion that this was the work of a highly sophisticated state-sponsored attacker utilizing novel techniques,” Mandia said in a blog post. Attackers stole so-called red team tools, which security firms use to imitate real-world hacks on behalf of their clients. Such red team tools from a respected firm like FireEye would provide malicious attackers with a kind of roadmap on how to subvert defenses, and breach victims. Mandia said his firm was taking the extraordinary step of developing “more than 300 countermeasures for our customers, and the community at […]
