ALMR System Security:

ALMR is a closed system and provides the highest level of security to protect federal government agencies and assets operating on the system. All other agencies on the system benefit from this strict policy. In order to maintain the level of security required for federal agencies to operate on ALMR, no new products or infrastructure may be added to the system without completing the System Change Request process (see procedure 400-3), having the request reviewed from a security and technical standpoint, and obtaining approval from the Executive Council. Agencies should never purchase a product without contacting the Operations Management Office or the System Management Office first, completing the change request form, and receiving the required approval.

Public Safety Threat Alliance – Threat Advisory

Threat actor impersonating Motorola Solutions employee

Disclosure Protocol: GREEN – Restricted to the Community

Summary:

Motorola Solutions recently became aware of a threat actor attempting to gain access to public safety agencies’ networks by impersonating a Motorola Solutions support technician. A small number of agencies across the United States have reported receiving phone calls from an individual claiming to work for Motorola Solutions. In each instance that we are aware of, the individual(s) sought authorization to remotely connect to the agency’s network to purportedly push a necessary security patch.

In at least one instance, the threat actor specifically referenced products from Motorola Solutions, demonstrating an awareness of mission-critical systems. It is possible the threat actor is mentioning other products and brands relevant to targeted agencies.

We believe the threat actor may continue the campaign against other public safety organizations and encourage our members to remain vigilant.

Please be aware of potential vishing (voice phishing) attacks. When in doubt about the authenticity of a communication, contact a known Motorola Solutions representative directly to confirm an individual’s credentials.
