U.S. Census Bureau

United States Census Bureau fell victim to a cyberattack in January 2020 that was traced back to a Citrix vulnerability.

The attackers managed to breach the internal network used to manage the agency’s remote workers but the automated firewall blocked communications with the attacker’s command and control servers.

No census information or data was accessed by the attackers as the backdoor was discovered and removed.
