Biden administration expected to form task force to deal with Microsoft hack linked to China
Updated 7:04 PM ET, Sat March 6, 2021 (CNN)The Biden administration is expected to put together a task force to deal with major cyber intrusions that Microsoft said this week were linked to China, according to a US official.
There are an estimated 30,000 affected customers in the US and 250,000 globally, though those numbers are expected to increase, the US official told CNN.
The White House declined to comment on the number of victims affected. We are undertaking a whole of government response to assess and address the impact. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an emergency directive to agencies and we re now working with our partners and looking closely at the next steps we need to take. This is an active threat still developing and we urge network operators to take it very seriously, a White House official said.
