Fed Records Indicate Over 50 Cybersecurity Breaches Since 2011, Some Flagged as “Espionage”

By CircleID Reporter

The U.S. Federal Reserve ha detected over 50 cyber breaches between 2011 and 2015, with several incidents suspected of “espionage,” Reuters reports. The cybersecurity reports, which represent only a slice of all cyber attacks on the Fed, were obtained by Reuters through a Freedom of Information Act request. “The records point to breaches during a sensitive period for the Fed, which was ramping up aid for the struggling U.S. economy by buying massive quantities of U.S. government debt and mortgage-backed securities.”
