It’s not something new as many had hoped. The computers of government employees have been getting attacked by Anonymous hackers for quite a while.
According to Reuters, a recent FBI memo admits that hacking collective Anonymous has been accessing multiple US government computer systems and stolen information over the past year. The alleged memo is said to have been distributed yesterday, and calls the intrusions a “widespread problem that should be addressed.” The Department of Energy, the US Army, and the Department of Health and Human Services are all mentioned as targets.
