Thank you for sharing Olaf Classen. One suspects that there’s more to this hack than that effecting the Swiss Airforce. The affected contractor ‘Ultra Intelligence & Communications’ offers mission critical communications solutions to several national defense agencies, the DoD included.

It is reported that 30gigs of documents were stolen, that included sensitive and classified information (CUI) – https://lnkd.in/eudd9b7i

It would appear to be an example of the effects of cyber on the defense industry base (DIB). That in the case of ‘Ultra Intelligence & Communications’ will be contracted under DFARS 252.204-7012, requiring self attestation to NIST SP 800-171 at a minimum for CUI. In theory if adequate compliance is not demonstrated a company can face claims under the False Claims Act (FCA).
