WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 01st June, 2022) The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently foiled an attempted cyber attack on Boston Children's Hospital, FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Wednesday.

"We got a report from one of our intelligence partners indicating Boston Children's was about to be targeted," Wray said during a speech at Boston College.
