FBI Fixes Misconfigured Server After Hoax Email Alert

The FBI has fixed a misconfigured web portal that allowed hacktivists to send thousands of fake emails to recipients.

News emerged over the weekend that individuals were receiving emails purporting to come from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Network and Analysis Group, but which had been sent from a @ic.fbi.gov account.

According to screenshots shared on Twitter, they warned of “exfiltration of several of your virtualized clusters in a sophisticated chain attack” — blaming a noted security researcher for the ‘attack.’
