InfraGard, a program run by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to build cyber and physical threat information-sharing partnerships with the private sector, had its database of contact information on more than 80,000 members go up for sale on an English-language cybercrime forum.
Meanwhile, the hackers that initiated the incident are communicating directly with members through the InfraGard portal online — using a new account under the assumed identity of a financial industry CEO that was vetted by the FBI itself.
