Justice Department Seizes Two Domain Names Used in Spear-Phishing Attacks

The U.S. Justice Department said that it had seized two Internet domains that had been used in spear-phishing attacks that mimicked email communications from the U.S. Agency for International Development. The Justice Department said that it seized two command-and-control (C2) and malware distribution domains on May 28 after winning a court order to do so.
