The FBI is very commonly involved in cyber crimes and the other departments have a role to play as well. Calling the FBI during a major security incident is not unusual at all, I’ve done it a number of times.
In the early days of the internet the FBI was kind enough to call my employer and inform us that we had left open an anonymous FTP server, and it was serving up Disney movies. Those were good times.
FBI warned a non-profit 8 hours before news broke that the US had bombed an Iranian general. Indeed, they saved many lives.
Are there any articles where someone could read about this? What was the non profit?
what was the outcome? did they catch the criminals?
