DoD Hacked

That’s right. Not even the Department of Defense is immune to cyber criminals. According to the Associated Press, a data breach, which exposed personal and credit card information of at least 30K people, was discovered on Oct. 4th but the attack probably happened months earlier. The bad actors gained access via a travel management firm that handles a limited number of the DoD’s travel needs. A DoD spokesman asserts, “The Department is continuing to assess the risk of harm,” and “while additional information about this incident is being gathered, the department is assessing further remedial measures.”
