On April 16, 2018, the Department of Homeland Security
("DHS"), the Federal Bureau of Investigation
("FBI"), and the United Kingdom's National Cyber

"information on the worldwide cyber exploitation of network
infrastructure devices (e.g., router, switch, firewall,
Network-based Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) devices) by Russian
state-sponsored cyber actors." According to the Alert, this
campaign to exploit network devices threatens national safety,
security, and economic well-being, and the primary targets are
government and private-sector organizations, critical
infrastructure providers, and the internet service providers
supporting those sectors.
