KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia Computer Emergency Response Team (MyCert) has issued a critical alert following reports of increased phishing attacks leveraging the recent CrowdStrike incident which caused a global IT outage.
These attacks use fraudulent domains, command-and-control (C2) Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and malware binaries to compromise systems and steal sensitive information, said MyCert on its website on Saturday (July 20).
