The U.S Health and Human Services Department was reportedly targeted in a cyberattack over the weekend as the agency grapples with the coronavirus crisis, which has killed 69 people in the country as of Monday.
Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Jacobs tweeted the news on Monday saying"The attack appears to have been intended to slow the agency’s systems down." The supposed cyber intrusion didn't affect systems in any meaningful way, and hackers weren't able to retrieve information, the Bloomberg report said, citing people familiar with the situation.
