Russian hackers have allegedly obtained sensitive defense information technology by targeting American contractors, said several federal agencies in a bulletin posted Wednesday.

From at least January 2020 through February 2022, the agencies “have observed regular targeting of U.S. cleared defense contractors by Russian state-sponsored cyber actors,” said the Department of Homeland Security-run Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and National Security Agency (NSA).
