Deception at Scale: Governments

Welcome to the VirusTotal “Deception at scale: How attackers abuse governmental infrastructure” research report. This report continues in the direction of what we hope will become an ongoing community effort to discover and share actionable information on malware trends.

This report explores how attackers abuse governmental-related infrastructure for their attacks. During our research, we found dozens of government sites in more than 50 territories hosting malware as well as indications that hacked government-affiliated sites had been used in targeted attacks.

Download the whitepaper as a first step to an open, healthy discussion that can help researchers understand how to better protect against these threats. We trust the information shared in this report will prove useful - and that it will keep our world a little bit safer.
