The U.S. government was hit by one of the largest cyberattacks on record after cybersecurity firm FireEye and software company SolarWinds both of which work with government agencies and major corporations announced earlier this month their systems had been compromised.
Top government officials like Attorney General William Barr and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said earlier this week that the hack was a cyber espionage operation most likely conducted by Russia.
