December 15, 2020 - The US government is reeling from multiple data breaches at top federal agencies, the result of a worldwide hacking campaign with possible ties to Russia.*  The Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, NIH, USPS, the Pentagon, and Departments of Treasury and Commerce are part of a list of a months-long digital spying operation.
