According to United States cybersecurity officials, there have been a few data breaches in some government agencies as part of a larger hacking campaign by the ransomware gang Clop.
Exploiting a vulnerability, this cybercriminal group has stolen significant data from various high-profile victims, such as Shell, British Airways, and the BBC.
Targeting US government entities will likely lead to increased scrutiny by global law enforcement towards the cybercriminals engaged in this prominent hacking spree.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three most important lessons from history?
History is filled with examples of how mistakes can be learned from. They can be applied to current business challenges, and transformed into opportunities for growth.
The past teaches us there is always another way. You will always find someone who thinks outside of the box and takes chances that make them stand out.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost, think back to the times when they won.
Take a look back at the past to learn from it and make improvements for the future. Learn from the successes and failures of others.
These lessons will help you increase your success rate.
What is the most valuable thing that you have learned in history?
This question is not easy to answer. Learning is about three things. The first is to realize that knowledge can be power. Second, it is important to recognize that knowledge is cumulative. The third is to be aware of how quickly knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. Because it empowers people to make better decisions. If we had complete information, we wouldn't have any difficulty making decisions. We would always do what we want without worrying about if it was right or wrong.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. We become more and more intelligent as time goes by. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now turn our attention to the third. Although knowledge is cumulative, it doesn’t stay static very long. In fact, knowledge is constantly changing. Scientists discover new theories and facts every day. Discoveries are made all the time.
Our culture is dependent on technology that allows us instant access to information. Technology allows you to store massive amounts of data in digital format and share them with millions of people all over the world.
In addition to technology, globalization has changed the way we view knowledge. Globalization refers the process whereby ideas and products are spread across borders. Knowledge is now available everywhere because of globalization.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. Anybody can access the internet to read, watch movies, listen and play music, as well as surf the net. All these activities require knowledge.
Information is becoming more accessible and more specialized. For example, if you go online today, you'll find hundreds of thousands of websites offering advice on topics such as health, finance, business, cooking, sports, and travel. These sites provide information on virtually every topic imaginable.
There are likely to be only a few websites offering automotive-related products or services if you try to search the internet for a car. There are many sites that cover every topic, but you will only find a few websites that focus on cars.
Because experts in certain fields can share and create valuable knowledge, this is why specialization is important. Experts often have an in-depth knowledge of a subject. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
Because they don't have to look through tons of unimportant information, this is a good thing for consumers. Instead, they can focus their attention on a handful of websites with lots of useful content.
Specialization is also a benefit for experts, who can create strong businesses around their expertise. If someone purchases a book, they expect the author to be an expert in his field and to present a clear and concise explanation. He expects the author to understand his message.
Experts that aren't specialists risk losing potential clients who expect them to be experts.
The scope of specialization doesn't stop at one area. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. You might be an accountant or lawyer, a doctor or teacher. But we're also likely to be a parent, spouses, friends, and fans.
Experts argue that specialization is so common that it's impossible for one person to be an expert in all aspects of the same thing.
So, how do you become a specialist in multiple areas? It's simple: practice. To learn anything, you have to practice. As you make progress, you must keep going until you are recognized as an expert.
There are many industries that help others achieve this goal. Many courses, workshops and seminars, as well as schools, teach how to quickly gain knowledge.
Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself when we believe the same old stories. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. From questioning authority. Challenge assumptions. When we do not question, we stagnate. We stagnate if we don’t move forward. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.
However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making the same mistakes. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.
You can end the cycle of history repetition by changing the way that you view the world. By understanding that nothing is permanent, you can see the possibilities. Nothing is unchangeable. Everything is in constant flux.
The key to breaking the cycle of uncertainty is acceptance. Accepting that things may go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accept that failure may be possible.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. You can accept this, but you must continue to strive for improvement.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. You can't move forward if your beliefs are fixed.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.
Who said that history doesn't teach the ignorant?
While we all would love to live in an ideal world that everyone learns from past mistakes, it is not possible to learn from our own mistakes.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
While you may not be able avoid making mistakes, there are ways to minimize them. This is the difference that makes the difference of success and failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. Look at them objectively and ask: "What can I learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They can be used as opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.
He also invented the most widely used form of lighting, which is still in use today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your errors. Use them.
And then, you can try again.

How To
What can humankind learn from the past mistakes of our ancestors?
We've been here before. There's nothing wrong in learning from the past. It could even help humanity get through another crisis.
If we keep an open mind and look for lessons to guide us forward, we may make it out alive.
The problem is when people fail to learn and refuse to recognize that humanity hasn't changed much from its beginning.
There are many wisdoms in the old methods, but because they clash with our beliefs, we tend to ignore them. We tend to cling to the old ways instead of accepting new changes.
But the world keeps changing, and the way we live together constantly evolves. Our environment is becoming increasingly complex and we have more problems to solve.
That means we have to adapt. This makes us more susceptible to failure, as we won't have the same strategies that worked previously.
This can lead to us losing sight of our core values and becoming slaves to our routines.
Our brains evolved to adapt to conditions that existed thousands of years ago. Those days aren’t gone forever.
The future doesn't seem set in stone. There are still many areas for improvement.
Humans are still capable of great feats. Amazing technologies can be created. To explore unknown frontiers.
Yet, we are often tempted to limit ourselves. To fear change. To reject evolution. To think that what worked yesterday will still work tomorrow.
Some people attempt to stop this trend. They see themselves to be warriors against this status quo. Fighting against the establishment. Against the system.
They are rebels who pride themselves on challenging the conventions of society. They challenge the conventions of society.
They rebel against rules. They are against conformity. They don't pay attention to social expectations. They believe they are better than others.
I wish these people all the best.
You're going to need it!
You are fighting an uphill struggle. The forces that drive mainstream society are powerful.
You will find that the majority of people aren't interested in your viewpoint. There is little interest in your point-of-view.
It doesn't matter how well-intentioned or brilliant you are. Your ideas might not resonate with the masses.
Your message could fall on deaf ears. You'll need to learn strange lessons from history.
Because this is where the real power lies. This is the place where you can really make a change.
You can encourage others to pursue their dreams. Where you can build movements that transform societies.
Let me ask you one question. Do you want your life to be lived up to others' expectations? Or would it be better to decide your own path.
