Russian hackers have in recent days been attempting to infiltrate U.S. state and local government computer networks, and have successfully stolen data from at least two servers, U.S. government agencies said on Thursday.
In an alert sent out on Thursday, less than two weeks before the U.S. presidential election, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned of the activity by a Russian state-sponsored hacking group, sometimes referred to by researchers as Berserk Bear, Dragonfly, Energetic Bear, TeamSpy, Havex, Crouching Yeti, and Koala.
