Hacked US Census Bureau staff to get anti-phishing 101 lessons
Found on The Register on Tuesday, 28 July 2015
The bureau said in a blog post over the weekend that the hackers who managed to pull employee records from its computers did so by targeting the Federal Audit Clearinghouse – which is a service provided by the bureau for the federal government.
Despite downplaying the severity of the leak, it appears that the US Census Bureau is indeed scrambling to improve security in the wake of the network breach. Among the top priorities are training for its staff members on security best practices.
It's a little late for that now though.
