The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director 
Christopher Krebs, has released a blog, titled Why CISA Issued Our First Emergency Directive [ 
http://cyber.dhs.gov/blog/#why-cisa-issued-our-first-emergency-directive ], to explain considerations in issuing 
Emergency Directive 19-01 [ https://cyber.dhs.gov/ed/19-01/ ] on January 22, 2019. The directive requires Federal 
civilian agencies to take a series of immediate actions in response to a global Domain Name System (DNS) hijacking 
campaign.

The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), part of CISA, recommends Federal agencies 
review the CISA Blog [ https://cyber.dhs.gov/blog/ ] for more information.
