    SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

    1000 DEFENSE PENTAGON


    WASHINGTON , DC 20301 - 1000

    JANUARY 2021

    CLASSIFIED: TOP SECRET - NOT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

    SUBJECT: RUSSIAN HACKINGS OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ASSETS

    Throughout 2020, the United States received intelligence that Russian hackers have

    infiltrated secure government databases and servers, including those located in The Pentagon, the

    Intelligence Community, the US Treasury, the Department of Homeland Security, the Commerce

    Department, and Health and Human Services. Within the servers affected, 18,000 US

    organizations had malicious code in their networks; 50 of them suffered major breaches. As of

    the 13th of December, when this knowledge was made known to US officials, the Cybersecurity

    and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been working tirelessly to secure networks and

    alleviate any vulnerabilities in the systems that were affected. Russia has denied responsibility

    for such hackings.

    This hacking poses a major threat to US cybersecurity, as it is one of the most significant

    hackings in modern history. The Department of Defense, Homeland Security, and CISA have

    urged Congress to take action against this emerging threat. In response, Congress has introduced

    the following piece of legislation, named after an essential cybersecurity tool: A Bill to

    C.A.P.T.C.H.A. (Create a Procedure to Combat Hacker Attacks). It is your responsibility as

    Congress to come to a decision on this legislation before more damage is done.
