[Regnum] The website of the US Department of Health was subjected to a large-scale cyberattack. This was reported on June 28 by Bloomberg.

As one of the officials of the department specified, the attackers used a flaw in the MOVEit application and gained access to data on the US Department of Health website. As a result of a cyberattack, hackers declassified tens of thousands of documents containing personal data of citizens. The systems of the Ministry of Health were not affected.

The leadership of the Ministry of Health suspects the CLOP group, which is often associated with hackers from Russia, in a cyber attack. At the same time, all the allegations have not yet been supported by evidence.

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is taking steps to mitigate the impact. The representative of the Ministry of Health clarified that on June 27 the incident was reported to the US Congress.

Earlier , IA Regnum reported that law enforcement officers in the United States detained Russian citizen Ruslan Astamirov in connection with his charges of cyberattacks and the use of ransomware viruses. According to investigators, Astamirov is also involved in cybercrime in Asia, Europe and Africa. He was arrested in Arizona. He is also going to be tried there.
