Ongoing Malicious Cyber Activity Against U.S. Government and Private Sector Entities

Original release date: February 22, 2013
Last revised: --

Various cyber actors have engaged in malicious activity against U.S. Government
and private sector entities. The apparent objective of this activity has been the
theft of intellectual property, trade secrets, and other sensitive business
information. The malicious actors have employed a variety of techniques to
infiltrate targeted organizations, establish a foothold, penetrate throughout the
targets' networks, and steal confidential or proprietary data. The United States
Department of Homeland Security, in collaboration with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and other partners, has released a Joint Indicator Bulletin (JIB)
through secure channels. This JIB contains cyber threat indicators that will
enable public and private sector critical infrastructure partners to take action
to mitigate adverse impacts from this activity and protect their sensitive
information.

This traffic light protocol green JIB contains internet protocol addresses, domain
names, and malware indicators associated with malicious data exfiltration
activity. Confirmed members of the cybersecurity community of practice, which may
include critical infrastructure owners and operators, systems administrators, and
information security practitioners, may request a copy of this bulletin by
contacting soc () us-cert gov with the subject "JIB Request," and including the
requestor's name and affiliation.
