The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday confirmed it is aware of “cyber breaches across the federal government” after the agency on Sunday said federal agencies were ordered to disconnect servers that might have been compromised.

“The Department of Homeland Security is aware of cyber breaches across the federal government and working closely with our partners in the public and private sector on the federal response,” Alexei Woltornist, the DHS assistant secretary for public affairs, said in a statement on Monday.
