Charles Carmakal, Mandiant's chief technical officer, described the current wave of intrusions as “the broadest cyber espionage campaign known to be conducted by a China-nexus threat actor since the mass exploitation of Microsoft Exchange in early 2021" that effected thousands of organizations. Goldstein said CISA was in close contact with the software maker and the FBI"to understand prevalence within federal agencies and critical infrastructure." He urged impacted organizations to reach out to CISA viaBryan Vorndran, assistant director of the FBI's Cyber Division, urged private sector organizations to implement the recommended steps, and to report suspected cyberattacks to local FBI field offices and CISA.
