U.S. Homeland Security Investigates Cyberattack on Information-Sharing NetworkPreviousNext

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating a recent cyberattack on its Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN), a platform used by federal, state, local, and foreign partners to share sensitive but unclassified information. The breach, believed to have occurred between late May and early June, has raised national security concerns due to the potential exposure of sensitive data. Senator Mark Warner urged thorough investigations by DHS and the Justice Department into the incident and its impact.
