The following is a Cyber Security Alert from Ohio Homeland Security a division of The Ohio Department of Public Safety. The document contains information related to active Cyber Incidents that are taking place throughout Ohio.

The document states that:

“During a 2018 ransomware attack, on a city government entity in Ohio, a contact list was stolen. This information is currently being used to spoof email addresses that send out malicious Microsoft (USBUS) Word Documents and conduct social engineering attempts.

The delivery of these attacks are very similar to our previous post this past September.
