U.S. Agency for Global Media data breach caused by a phishing attack

The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) has disclosed a data breach that exposed the personal information of current and former employees and their beneficiaries. The exposed information includes full names and Social Security numbers of employees and possibly their beneficiaries and dependents. USAGM states that they secured the affected account once they learned of the breach and began providing phishing education to staff members. They also sped up their rollout of multifactor authentication (MFA) for the agency’s Office 365, SharePoint, and OneDrive accounts.
