Federal Agencies Attacked Using Legitimate Remote Desktop Tools 0.2 Credit
Select your learning mode
Several federal civilian executive branch (FCEB) organizations have succumbed to a massive phishing campaign, according to the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
Emails were sent to staff members beginning in the middle of 2022 as part of the campaign, using legal remote monitoring and management (RMM) software. Most of them had a helpdesk theme, telling victims they needed to cancel a subscription or that they had received an unintended refund. Retrospective testing was done on the FCEB agencies' preferred intrusion detection system, Einstein, which is developed by CISA.
This CPE Nano learning course by David Utzke will explain how hackers used legitimate remote software to infiltrate the systems of Federal agencies, how to detect malicious activities, and discuss risk management strategies recommended by CISA for ensuring cybersecurity.
At this time, Nano-learning is not accepted by all state boards. If you are not sure whether your state board accepts Nano-learning, you can ask your state board or visit the NASBA registry.
