The series of vulnerabilities of America’s highest and most sensitive institutions against cyberattacks was repeated once again, and hackers were able to send tens of thousands of fake messages by hacking into one of the servers of the Federal plus (FBI) e-mail server.
The hackers were able to send tens of thousands of warning messages about a possible cyberattack by hacking into one of the US Federal Police emails last night (Reuters).
The FBI said in a statement that the fake emails were sent from one of the security agency’s trusted emails from the ic.fbi.gov server.
The FBI said in a statement that although the hacked hardware quickly went out of business after the incident was discovered, the situation has not returned to normal.
Last year, the Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity organization warned that the perpetrators of widespread cyberattacks on government agencies, private companies, and key infrastructure entities had used a variety of unknown tactics.
The threat posed a major threat to the federal government, key infrastructure agencies and other private sector organizations, and the hackers used up-to-date tactics, techniques and methods, according to the security agency.
Less than a month ago, the State Department announced that it was setting up a special center to combat cyberattacks and other online crimes, following growing US concerns about the escalation of cyber-attacks against the country.

Earlier in November, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced the ministry’s plans to establish a new Center for Cyberspace and Digital Policy.
The establishment of such an office and the definition of the agenda for a new representative are aimed at monitoring important and emerging technologies in the wake of widespread cyberattacks and other online crimes, especially ransomware attacks on US infrastructure.
In a note to State Department staff, Blinken said that the approval of the new envoy and the Office of Cyberspace and Digital Policy by Congress would give us more leadership and responsibility to advance the diplomatic agenda at home and abroad.
