Cyberattack Hits US National Lab, Nuclear Waste Site

 A contractor at a US national lab and a radioactive waste storage site
managed by the Department of Energy were among the victims of wide-ranging
cyberattack that saw several federal agencies hacked, according to a person
familiar with the matter.

A department spokesperson confirmed Thursday that
records from two of the agency’s “entities were compromised,” though
further details on the extent of the breach couldn’t immediately be
determined. Multiple US agencies were compromised by a hacking campaign in
which attackers exploited flaws in a popular software tool to gather
information from a range of victims.
