> U.S. authorities have seized dozens of internet domains used by Russian intelligence agents and their proxies to steal valuable information from U.S. government computers and email accounts, the Department of Justice revealed Thursday.
> The Justice Department seized 41 internet domains and coordinated the takedowns with tech giant Microsoft, which seized an additional 66 unique domains operated by the same group.
> In its blog post on Thursday, Microsoft indicated that the domain seizures will enable its investigators to gain "Valuable intelligence" about the Russian state actors, "Which we can use to improve the security of our products, share with cross-sector partners to aid them in their own investigations and identify and assist victims with remediation efforts." But the tech firm noted that it expects the cybercriminals to establish new infrastructure in the coming weeks and months.
