Both the U.S. government and other U.S. organizations should be on “high alert,” Steen told the Washington Examiner. Organizations should review their cybersecurity posture to “ensure their assets are sufficiently protected.” —Ray Steen, Chief Strategy Officer, [MainSpring, Inc.](https://gomainspring.com/) **Choose MainSpring** *MainSpring is your go-to for IT strategy and support.
