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. And the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a directive (Emergency Directive 21-01) on December 13 calling on all federal civilian agencies to review their networks for indicators of compromise.  The DoD interim rule for its CMMC went into effect last November, and a number of steps must be taken by contractors in 2021.
