Three federal agencies in the United States, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the National Security Agency (NSA), have issued a joint advisory about state-sponsored Russian cyber operations targeting critical infrastructure, including healthcare organizations. The alert comes at a time of increased tensions between the US and Russia over Ukraine and follows a cyberattack on Ukrainian government websites. The alert provides guidance on detection, incident response, and mitigation against Russian threats to US critical infrastructure.
