FBI and security experts said that hackers breached the agency's email system on Saturday and sent hundreds of emails alerting them of a prospective cyberattack. The FBI claimed in a statement that the fake emails seemed to be sent from a valid FBI email address with the domain name @ic.fbi.gov.
An ongoing investigation is underway, the FBI added, despite all affected devices being taken offline as soon as they were discovered.
According to Spamhaus Project, emails warning of a possible cyberattack were sent out by the hackers, a threat-tracking outfit, on its Twitter feed.
