So, what happened and who was behind the apparent cyberattack?
Fake emails attributed to the US Department of Homeland Security were sent on Saturday from a secure FBI computer server, the FBI confirmed.
In a statement, the FBI and the department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) confirmed the incident, without providing details.
“The FBI and CISA are aware of the incident this morning involving fake emails from an @ic.fbi.gov email account,” users could read on the FBI’s website Saturday. “This is an ongoing situation, and we are not able to provide any additional information at this time. The impacted hardware was taken offline quickly upon discovery of the issue”.
