Malware forces some fed offices to Temporarily close
May 27
I just returned from Tampa and Boca Raton (I was having my iPhone repair at the time) and thought it was a good to blog. The FBI as well as United States Marshals office was forced to shut down their respective computer systems and were without either email or web service as technicians confirmed and destroyed a malware infection. I wonder if an iPhone can get such an infection?
According to spokesperson Nikki Credic, the IT administrators in question confirmed that the computers was infected and began to update their anti virus software and then pushed the updates through the networks.
The IT administrators said the said attack did not breach any type of sensitive information in the FBI or United States Marshal’s systems. There have been some unconfirmed reports that the malware attack could have been the Neeris worm, which has been around for several years now. All in all, this particular worm spreads on the Windows Autorun and is able to spread on systems which are not up to date on their patches. If you are in south Florida and need a reliable iPhone Repair Tampa serive then I can suggest Ubreakifix. They also cover Boca Raton, Orlando and Pembroke Pines too. They are tops for 3g screen, parts, water damage and other iPhone repair too.
According to Derek Manky the project manager of Fortinet cybersecurity and research, said that Neeris could contain a malicious code that would enable remote hackers to take control of the infected system. They would then be able to steal personal or financial information and could have affected the sensitive data on these two computer systems. By the way, if you spend a lot of time sitting down and are looking for new office chairs then you should take into account the ergonomic dynamics of it overall. which is quite important.
All in all, The United States Marshal’s service is the office that handles witness security, along with other duties that was left without Internet or email during the malware attack.
