Back Homelandprepnews FBI warns of cyber criminals' use of traffic distribution system in financial scams
The FBI said in a public service announcement that cyber criminals are using traffic distribution systems to gain access to victim networks for financial scams.
The FBI said cyber criminals drive users through a variety of methods then use TDS to bypass traditional firewall rules that would otherwise block connections to malicious websites. Cyber criminals also use the TDS to analyze potential victims to target by e collecting their IP addresses, operating system, location, device, and browser information, and then exploit that website visitor device at the end of the TDS redirection to deliver phishing pages, financial scams and malware to the users.
The FBI is also asking anyone who has been the victim of a TDS intrusion to report it with their local police department, file a claim with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at or call a local FBI Field Office.
