Colleagues, DHS reports a new incident: HSIN, a platform for sharing sensitive information, is at risk

Colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to a cybersecurity incident. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is investigating a breach of HSIN, a platform used by federal, regional and local authorities to share data and coordinate actions.

According to reports, the attack may have occurred in late May or early June. The scale of the leak remains unclear, as does the identity of the actor behind it.

Importantly, this concerns not classified, but sensitive data, access to which may affect the security and operational continuity of agencies.

Why it matters: even systems that are closed to the general public but not classified remain critical targets for attacks.

Do you believe government systems are prepared for such risks?
