U.S. military contractor MAG Aerospace had its employees' information compromised following a cyberattack in August, reports Cybernews
Despite having been able to access "limited" personal data from its systems, attackers have not yet been observed to exploit such information, according to MAG Aerospace, which specializes in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance services. All affected accounts and domains have already been deactivated, with MAG Aerospace also implementing asset quarantines, network access blocking, and password resets.
While additional details regarding the extent of the breach have not been provided, the company, which has contracts with the U.S. Army, the State Department, the U.S. General Services Administration, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, among others, has committed to offering two years of complimentary identity theft protection and fraud detection services to potential victims. Information stolen from MAG Aerospace could be leveraged in social engineering and phishing attacks that spread malware.
