SolarWinds hackers also violated the US nuclear weapons service

The hackers who hit SolarWinds violated the networks of the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) and the US Department of Energy (DOE).

America seems to be in a state of cyber warfare, as too many sensitive government services have been violated by the same team that hit SolarWinds.

Example NNSA, which is a semis government agency responsible for the maintenance and security of the US nuclear weapons stockpile. It was established by the US Congress in 2000 and is also charged with dealing with nuclear and radioactive emergencies within the United States and abroad.

US officials they told Politico that federal investigators have found that the hackers who hit SolarWinds have access to the US DOE and NNSA networks.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Safe Transport Bureau, the DOE Richland Field Office and the Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories were all reportedly hit.

According to DOE spokeswoman Shaylyn Hynes, the hackers focused their efforts primarily on FERC. The DOE also confirmed that the team ς παραβίασε επίσης τα δίκτυα της αμερικανικής υπηρεσίας πυρηνικών όπλων. Αυτή την στιγμή και προκειμένου να διασφαλίσει ότι οι υπόλοιποι κρίσιμοι οργανισμοί είναι ασφαλείς, βρίσκεται σε τακτική επαφή με την ηλεκτρική ενέργεια, το πετρέλαιο και το φυσικό αέριο (ONG) και Κέντρα αντand Information Analysis (ISAC)

The breach of US government networks has been officially confirmed
This series of attacks led to the invasion of many US government networks, such as was officially confirmed by the FBI, CISA and ODNI.

The list of US government targets that have been violated also includes the US Treasury Department, the US Department of State, the NTIA, the NIH, the DHS-CISA and the US Department of Homeland Security.

The US Government suspects that the group behind this hacking campaign is the Russian state group (also known as Cozy Bear), and had access to the networks of violated organizations for a long time, according to a CISA notice.
