Digitel, the Venezuelan telecommunications company, suffered access failures to some of its services and platforms, because its system received security threats that forced it to temporarily block its servers to protect itself.

Digitel’s customers have not had any problems with their communications, but on social media they complained about the inability to access the website or top up funds, as well as difficulties with the call centers.

A company source told the portal that they had detected security threats on their system, so they decided to block their servers for a short time to prevent any attacks.

“This block does not interfere with the communication of our customers, who continue to enjoy our service,” the company’s statement states.

They also indicated that the technical and security team is working to neutralize the threat and that they hope that in the coming hours all their portals and service channels will be operational again.

FBI servers were intervened by a hacker, who sent more than 100,000 emails warning of an apparent cyber attack as reported by Spamhaus Project, an international company that aims to provide support to detect Internet threats to various companies.

Determining the reliability of the message was extremely difficult because they were sent, according to the Spamhaus report they were issued from the “LEEP website (Law Enforcemente Enterprislos e Portal), a secure platform for law enforcement agencies and intelligence groups.”

The content of the email is false, but its origin comes from one of the servers of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States, using the IPs and login information that are normally used to issue official information.

Large-scale attacks

The hackers used legitimate email addresses that were taken from the database of a non-profit organization called the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN).

Spamhaus considers this message to be small evidence of a large-scale attack targeting “Vinny Troia, the founder of the dark web intelligence company Shadowbyte” and said it is not the first time that it has received such threats.

For its part, the FBI issued a statement confirming the fact, but assures that it does not have more information on the subject and urges users to report any activity they consider suspicious.

Part of the communication states: “The FBI and CISA are aware of the incident involving fake emails from an @ ic.fbi.gov account. This situation is still valid and we are not in a position to provide additional information at this time. We encourage the public to be wary of unknown issuers and to urgently report any activity to www.ic3.gov or www.cisa.gov”.
