RSA, the security division of Hopkinton-based EMC Corp., issued an ?urgent message? to customers that its systems were hit by ?an extremely sophisticated cyber attack.?
The message from RSA Executive Chairman Arthur Coviello was posted this afternoon on the company?s Web site and disclosed by EMC in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
?We took a variety of aggressive measures against the threat to protect our business and our customers, including further hardening of our IT infrastructure,? Coviello wrote. ?We also immediately began an extensive investigation of the attack and are working closely with the appropriate authorities.?
