The US Census Bureau is the largest US federal government statistical agency responsible for collecting statistical data about the US economy and population. The data is then used by the federal government to allocate over $675 billion in federal funds to tribal, local, and state governments every year. The US Department of Homeland Security said that unknown threat actors have targeted the US Census network during the last year in its first-ever Homeland Threat Assessment (HTA) report released earlier this week. The DHS says that both state and non-state attackers will likely attempt to compromise or disrupt infrastructure the US uses to support the 2020 US Presidential election, as well as 2020 US Census.
