GOP proposes to allocate $53 million to U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to combat hackers targeting virus vaccine research. Funding request is a significant jump from $9.1 million granted to CISA under the $2.2 trillion CARES Act. CISA Director Christopher Krebs says critical infrastructure remains susceptible to cyberthreats. The FBI has warned that hackers are targeting medical research facilities and healthcare organizations that are working toward developing coronavirus vaccines (see: FBI: Hackers Targeting US COVID-19 Research Facilities)”]
