Internet Crime Complaint Center Issues Cyberattack Warning

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) issued an alert warning law enforcement personnel and public officials of increased risk of cyberattacks. “Doxing -- the act of gathering and publishing individuals’ personal information without permission -- has been observed,” IC3 said in Tuesday's alert. “Hacking collectives may exploit publicly available information identifying officers or officials, their employers, and their families,” IC3 said. “These target groups should protect their online presence and exposure.”
