Updated on 2022-11-02: US Treasury Thwarted DDoS Attack

In October, the US Treasury was able to fend off cyberattacks, according to a Treasury official. Todd Conklin, cybersecurity counselor to Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo, said the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack targeted the agency’s critical infrastructure nodes. The attack has been attributed to a hacking group with ties to Russia.

Note

  • Better to be able to report a thwarted attack than to fall victim to one. After you have enabled DDoS protections both at your perimeter and at your cloud-based services, make sure that you are getting reports on their effectiveness: you may find it eye-opening. If possible, make sure that you’re reporting these types of attacks to the FBI, CISA, etc. so they can be incorporated in larger response efforts.
  • Don’t forget to periodically test any DDoS response triggered switchovers!
