Hackers have compromised an external email system of the FBI, a watchdog group that tracks spam and similar cyber threats announced on Nov. 13.

“We have been made aware of ’scary' emails sent in the last few hours that purport to come from the FBI/DHS [Department of Homeland Security],” the group, Spamhaus Project, wrote on Twitter.
