BREACH: Univ of Michigan 2nd Notification - UPDATED

Pay attention because we are seeing traffic from the Univ of Michigan as well as Horizon's Church in Michigan. They still appear to have issues. We previously posted that ISIS was cyber targetting Univ of Michigan and this host we are seeing has had activity for most of the month of June.

Host: 199.101.99.146

Analyst Notes: A quick review shows that this entity is on a number of blacklist. In addition SANS distributed sensors have seen 275 incidents of activity from this host. SLC Security has logged 1104 events in the last 7 days from this host.

MS: ISIS may be targeting US and other Educational Institutions

Some preliminary research today may indicate that ISIS is targeting the educational sector. Several messages in IRC and on Pastebin point to social engineering attempts at educational locations in the US and other friendly countries by purported ISIS members. The information being seen has shown that hackers believed to be associated with ISIS feel that the educational sector may be an easy target and it appears as though they may have already started socially engineering some educational institutions.

One poster states that the attackers have turned the event into a contest to see how many targets can be racked up in the next 24 hours.

It also appears as though the University of Michigan is one of the named targets and has been noted in multiple post. Not surprising with the large Muslim population in that part of the country.
