North Korean cyber actors have stolen approximately $1.5 billion in Ethereum from Bybit, a cryptocurrency exchange, and are rapidly converting the stolen assets and dispersing them across thousands of addresses on multiple blockchains. The FBI urges RPC node operators, exchanges, bridges, blockchain analytics firms, DeFi services, and other virtual asset service providers to block transactions with, or derived from, the Ethereum addresses identified in our new Public Service Announcement (PSA).

I attended the first in-person meeting of the InfraGard Houston Members Alliance Countering Human Trafficking Cross-Sector Council. What an eye-opening presentation from Rhonda Kuykendall about a topic that happens all around us without us even seeing it. Thank you, Rhonda, for sharing your story and your tireless work to educate, advocate, and drive change to help others. Thank you to Chip Robertson and Netrality Data Centers for hosting the meeting.

https://lnkd.in/ghxKbzS3 Are you a security professional operating in the faith-based sector who serves, advises, or assists Houses of Worship (HoW) or other religious institutions in the Houston Metro Area? Or are you a clergy member, security committee member, board member, or officer at your HoW in the Houston Metro Area? If so, this may interest you! The InfraGard Houston Members Alliance Chapter will be launching a new Cross-Sector Council (CSC) focused on Houses of Worship. More information will be provided at the next InfraGard Chapter meeting in April 2025. If you are a current InfraGard member, please consider getting involved and participating in the new CSC. If you are not currently a member of InfraGard, I highly encourage you to join, get involved, and help spread the word to others in the larger community. Be part of the conversation and the solution! Information on joining can be found at https://www.infragard.org/. Please note that there is a vetting process, and membership is only open to U.S. citizens. For those unfamiliar with InfraGard: “InfraGard is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and members of the private sector for the protection of U.S. Critical Infrastructure. Through seamless collaboration, InfraGard connects owners and operators within critical infrastructure to the FBI, providing education, information sharing, networking, and workshops on emerging technologies and threats. InfraGard’s membership includes business executives, entrepreneurs, lawyers, security personnel, military and government officials, IT professionals, academia, and state and local law enforcement—all dedicated to contributing industry-specific insight and advancing national security.” It is fantastic that there will finally be an official organization and platform for security professionals in the faith-based sector, as well as others concerned with security in that sector, to collaborate across all faiths and denominations. This initiative will help improve the security posture of faith-based communities throughout the Houston Metro Area. So, please consider joining and participating!

I’m honored to share that I’ve been involved as a Volunteer with InfraGard Houston Members Alliance. It's a great organization to connect with great minds working against threats targeting our countries Critical Infrastructures.
