Subject: According to an agency spokesperson. Yeah, right.

.
The United States Marshals Service (USMS) was hit with a ransomware attack, the agency said in a statement. It was a “Major Incident,” one that could endanger the safety of the nation.

The incident occurred on February 17, and “officials determined that it constitutes a major incident,” according to an agency spokesperson.

“Shortly after that discovery, the USMS disconnected the affected system, and the Department of Justice initiated a forensic investigation,” according to the spokesperson.

A senior official subsequently told NBC that no information pertaining to the Witness Security Program had been compromised in the cyberattack.
