Goldstein said CISA was in close contact with the software maker and the FBI"to understand prevalence within federal agencies and critical infrastructure." He urged impacted organizations to reach out to CISA viaBryan Vorndran, assistant director of the FBI's Cyber Division, urged private sector organizations to implement the recommended steps, and to report suspected cyberattacks to local FBI field offices and CISA.
