[Mail_treas] FBI warning on stolen credentials

[Thor Sage]

Good morning,
I wanted to share the below information on a recent warning from the FBI regarding lists of stolen credentials circulating on the Internet.  It is critical that we all remain vigilant with respect to attempted phishing and malware attacks.
Thank you,
Thor

Network credentials and VPN logins from numerous U.S. colleges and universities are widely available for sale on cybercriminal forums operating out of Russia, according to an FBI alert issued Thursday.
The alert read that a "multitude" of U.S. schools were featured on these sites as of January, with malicious actors selling directories of stolen credentials for hundreds or thousands of dollars. Credential harvesting is often a byproduct of ransomware, spearphishing or another attack, the FBI said, laying the groundwork for identity theft or future cyberattacks.
