The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is releasing this FLASH to highlight the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the cyber criminal group TeamPCP. TeamPCP actors have conducted large-scale software supply chain compromises by targeting widely used developers and security tools, gaining access to victim environments and extracting sensitive data, including but not limited to cloud access tokens, SSH keys, and Kubernetes secrets. The FBI encourages organizations to contact the FBI if they have been compromised, and to implement the actions in the Recommendations section to reduce the likelihood and impact of compromise by TeamPCP actors.

Green IT practices:

Turn devices off at the end of the day to reduce both energy and your overall attack surface.

Regularly delete unnecessary files and emails to conserve storage and reduce the risk of data breaches.

Keep software up to date to extend the lifespan of devices

[Ministry of Info, Comms & The Digital Economy KE @MoICTKenya]

Cybercriminals often use deceptive links to steal personal information, install malware, or compromise your accounts. Before clicking any link, watch out for these common warning signs:

🔹 Urgent or threatening language
🔹 Misspelled or suspicious web addresses
🔹 Unexpected prizes or offers that seem too good to be true
🔹 Generic greetings instead of your name

A moment of caution can prevent a cyber incident.

🛡️ Stay vigilant. Stay secure. Stay cyber aware.
