Hackers compromised an external email system of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Spamhaus Project, a watchdog group tracking spam and similar cyber threats, announced Saturday.
“We have been made aware of “scary” emails sent in the last few hours that purport to come from the FBI/DHS [Department of Homeland Security],” announced the group on Twitter.
The messages came from a legitimate email address—eims@ic.fbi.gov—from the Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal (LEEP), which is owned by the FBI/DHS, the group said. It added, however, “our research shows that these emails *are* fake.”
