FBI admits ‘malicious cyber incident’ on its own network

The FBI has admitted that it was hit by a malicious cyber incident on its own network. The agency is investigating the incident and has not released further information.

According to CNN, the FBI has been investigating and working to contain a cyber incident on part of its computer network in recent days. “The FBI is aware of the incident and is working to gain additional information. This is an isolated incident that has been contained,” the US agency said in a statement. The agency spokesperson added, as this is an ongoing investigation, the FBI does not have further comment to provide at this time’

According to the report, citing sources, “FBI officials believe the incident involved an FBI computer system used in investigations of images of child sexual exploitation”. It was not immediately clear when the intrusion occurred, or how the FBI was compromised.

In 2021, hackers compromised the FBI computers and sent thousands of fake emails. The fbi.gov domain name and Internet address were used to send thousands of fake emails about a cybercrime investigation. The FBI said at the time that it fixed a software vulnerability related to the incident. “The impacted hardware was taken offline quickly upon discovery of the issue. We continue to encourage the public to be cautious of unknown senders,” the agency had said.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
