CISA Chemical Security Breach: Sensitive Data Potentially Exposed in Major Hack
CISA confirmed that its Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) was breached in January after hackers deployed a webshell on its Ivanti device. Sensitive security plans and assessments might have been exposed, prompting CISA to notify impacted participants. Time to double-check those passwords and maybe invest in some digital security sage.
Hot Take:
Looks like CISA had a ‘chemical reaction’ to a breach they didn’t see coming! When your chemical security tool gets hacked, it’s a volatile situation. Maybe they should’ve tried turning it off and on again a bit sooner?
