If only they had better security

Hackers backed by the Russian government have breached the networks of multiple US defense contractors in a sustained campaign that has revealed sensitive information about US weapons-development communications infrastructure.

The claim comes from the US federal government said on Wednesday and started in January 2020 and has continued through this month.

The FBI, the National Security Agency, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency claimed hackers have been targeting and successfully hacking cleared defence contractors, or CDCs, which support contracts for the US Department of Défense and intelligence community.
