The Energy Department has been hit by a major cyber-attack, which resulted in the personal information of several hundred employees being compromised and could have been aimed at obtaining other sensitive information, The Washington Free Beacon reports.
FBI agents are investigating the attacks, which happened two weeks ago, at the Washington-based headquarters. Fourteen computer servers and 20 workstations reportedly were penetrated during the attack.
Oddly, Earlier today Fox news reported that the Energy Department “may be the target of cyber attacks soon” even though the attacks occurred 2 weeks ago.
