CNN —A group of Russian-speaking cyber criminals has claimed credit for a sweeping hack that has compromised employee data at the BBC and British Airways and left US and UK cybersecurity officials scrambling to respond. The compromise of employee data at the BBC and British Airways came via a breach of a human resources firm, Zellis, that both organizations use. Numerous US state government agencies use the MOVEit software, but it’s unclear how many agencies, if any, have been compromised. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has ordered all federal civilian agencies to update the MOVEit software in light of the hack. Progress, the US firm that owns the MoveIT software, has also urged victims to update their software packages and has issued security advice.
