A few days ago the US Marshals service was hit by some unknown malware. The FBI was also affected and some other agencies were on high alert. The malware affected various networks, which had to be shutdown to stop the problem from spreading further.

Not much else is known about the malware at this stage. The source of the infection and the actual type of malware has not been revealed. However, there was no data compromised in the attack.

While US Justice departments do run very tight security, it just goes to show that malware can affect any system at any time. So always take precautions and stay on guard.
