President Trump said the establishment media has exaggerated the extent of a cyberattack on the US government.

The US announced it was closing two consulates in Russia just days before news broke of a Russian computer hack targeting the US government.

Federal authorities warned of the threat posed by a cybersecurity attack on government agencies likely carried out by Russian hackers.

At least two federal agencies have been the victims of a massive cyberattack that has been taking place for months, according to reports.

A Wall Street Journal report last week said North Korea had targeted six vaccine makers in an attempt to breach their networks.

The researcher said that the data sometimes contains PIN numbers, credit card numbers and other sensitive data.

'There was no exposure to sensitive data because none of it is actually stored on the site. The website has been restored.'

US officials warned that state-sponsored Russian hackers are targeting state and local governments.

Iran's campaign of hacking and disinformation against the United States hasn't gotten as much play as Russia's - for one predictable reason.

'APT29 has a long history of targeting governmental, diplomatic, think-tank, health care and energy organizations for intelligence gain.'
